Description:
The restoration of an 1890 building of the historical style of the Czarist Russia period in Lithuania. The building has changed from a residence, to the government Minister's Cabinet with representative apartments, and after 1945 a vocational school. It is now used as the university council's building. Structural repairs were made and authentic details and decorations restored but lost ones were not returned to just 'beautify' the whole.
