FORMER RESIDENTIAL HOUSE OF DOCTORS PAULINA KALVAITYTĖ AND VLADAS LAŠAS

Laisvės al. 3, Kaunas

The house stands out because of the highly original “Dutch” type of façade not seen in Lithuania elsewhere. Like a make-believe screen it covers the whole house, the arched bands above are decorated with the traditional tulips. The house belonged to the physicians Vladas Lašas and Paulina Kalvaitytė-Karvelienė, who had her private practice on the first floor. She was one of the first Lithuanian radiologists, the head of the X-ray Department in Kaunas City Hospital and the lecturer at Vytautas Magnus University, Faculty of Medicine. Year: 1933. Styles: National, Modernism. Architect Stasys Kudokas.
