House of engineer Stasys Čiurlionis

The property, with wooden and brick buildings, belonged to the engineer Stasys Čiurlionis. First of all, the wooden house was built in 1920. The three-story brick house, presumably built for rent, appeared in 1933. The owner also owned a spacious, albeit not very comfortable, piece of land uphill.
