At construction cost of over 1.27 million Lithuanian litas, it was one of the most luxurious buildings built in interwar Lithuania.

Located next to Laisvės alėja, the main pedestrian street, the building features nationalistic symbolism and decorative folk motifs.

Built in 1935–1937, the building served as the headquarters of the Officers' Club of the Lithuanian Army and venue for various official events.

In the early 2000s, the building underwent major renovation to restore and recreate as much of the authentic interwar decor as possible.

[4] At the time, the club owned a two-floor house on the corner of A. Mickevičiaus street and Laisvės alėja built in 1860.

[5] During the interwar period when Kaunas was the temporary capital of Lithuania, the building was an object of great importance that often hosted military and other official events, including reception of foreign dignitaries by President Antanas Smetona.

[5] The exterior is decorated with sculptural composition The Three Giants (Lithuanian: Trys milžinai) depicting three warriors of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania.

[7] Coat of arms of three cities decorate the entrance doors: taurus with a cross of Kaunas, Saint Christopher of Vilnius, and castle towers of Klaipėda.

[6] The interior is decorated with shields of six main branches of the interwar Lithuanian Armed Forces: Aviation, Engineers, Navy, Infantry, Artillery and Cavalry.

[5] The columns are covered with marble, windows feature tulip motifs, and radiators are hidden by bronze grates.

They were unexpectedly found in the Vytautas the Great War Museum – removed from the frames and rolled up they were inventoried as "unknown paintings of dukes".

[7] The paintings depict King Mindaugas, Grand Dukes Vytenis, Kęstutis, Gediminas (father of the Gediminids dynasty), Algirdas, and Vytautas the Great.

Its designer, architect Jonas Kova-Kovalskis [lt], studied Gothic architecture by visiting the Malbork and Kuressaare Castles.

[6] The hall is decorated with seven murals by Jonas Mackevičius [lt], depicting the key moments from Vytautas' life, including the victory in the Battle of Grunwald (an adaptation of Battle of Grunwald by Jan Matejko) and the Congress of Lutsk which declared him King of Lithuania.

[7] The sitting-room also has a still operational grey and white marble fireplace, decorated with authentic bas-reliefs by Petras Rimša that depict Vytautas the Great and map of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania during his reign.

[6] The room has stained glass windows (originals by Stasys Ušinskas, reconstruction by Vytautas Švarlys) that depict medieval coat of arms.

[5] The room displays artillery shells from the Lithuanian Wars of Independence, linen canvas, and framed Vytis.

Nowadays, since 1994, it is a pizzeria Milano, led by an Italian chief chef, however the modern restaurant has a restored interior, colors, furniture, bar, luminaires from the inter-war times.

Its editors were: Kazys Skučas, Vincas Jonuška, Petras Biržys, Jonas Asevičius-Acukas, Juozas Balčiūnas, Vytautas Steponaitis, Aleksandras Šimkus, Liudas Zibavičius.

[10] The room is now a small museum displaying authentic military items: paintings, maps, models, guns, tablecloth ironing machines, typewriter, still operating telephones and other.

The room allows soldiers and their family members to train with pistol Glock and automatic rifle G-36 – the sound and recoil are simulated.

[6] Another room is dedicated to the history of Lithuania and Ukraine, which presents information about the international history project Gediminaičių kelias (The Path of the Gediminids), a collaboration of ten cities in Ukraine, two in Belarus, one in Poland and the Czech Republic as well as four in Lithuania (Kaunas, Tauragė, Ukmergė, and Trakai).
