Noble Manor

Among the most remarkable buildings of the street is the late baroque manor residence with rococo features, included as a monument of architecture of local importance (AtV88) in the register of cultural values ​​of the Republic of Lithuania ^[9] . The ensemble was built on the site, which in the first quarter of the XVIII century belonged to Puzina. It is assumed that the author of the project is the architect Józef Fontana, who worked in Vilna. Owners of the estate were first Dombrow, then the graphs of Gevulsky ^[10] . According to other sources, the building belonged to the Korsakov family, and in 1809 Matusevich was inherited ^[11] . The ensemble of three one-story buildings is located at the intersection of Tilto and T. Vrublevske ( Tilto g. 1 / T. Vrublevskio g. 2 ).

Two of them, south-east and north-west, are parallel to each other, coming out at Tilto’s ends. They are separated from the street by a fence with a French-style courtyard entrance, onto which are the symmetrical main facades of these two houses. In the eastern corner of the site, on T. Vrublevske Street, stands the third house of the former outbuilding, in which there was a kitchen and servants lived. This house has no decor, in contrast to the representative south-east house and the north-west residential house. The facade of a representative building is decorated with rusticated lisens , framed windows, a semicircular pediment with a relief composition of banners and a cartouche with the coat of arms of the owners. The facade on the contrary differs only in the location of the windows. The stepped roofs of both houses are tiled ^{[10] [12]} .

Antanas Smetona lived in this house in 1908-1909, in memory of which a memorial plate was installed on the facade facing the street ^{[13] [14]} (sculptor Konstantinas Bogdanas, architect V. Zaranka ^[15] ).

These houses under high tiled roofs with wooden porticos are also included in the register of state-protected cultural heritage objects ^[16] . The history of buildings on this site that belonged to Michal Ostrovsky, then by Khmelevsky, Maslovsky and other changing owners, has been documented since the first half of the 18th century . ^[17]

House with gallery

On the opposite side at the junction of Tilto and K. Sirvido, along the street, the facade of a two-storey residential building characteristic of the first half of the 19th century ( Tilto g. 10 / K. Sirvydo g. 8 ) is curved . A narrow courtyard on the south-west side limits the wall with buttresses . On the side of the courtyard along almost the entire second floor there is a wooden gallery, supported by Doric columns and wooden pillars.

The house stands on a plot that belonged to the Carmelite convent with the church of St. George in the 17th and 18th centuries . In 1798, the official and outbuilding buildings, together with other buildings of the monastery, were transferred to the Catholic seminary. In 1827 a second floor and a wooden gallery were built over a part of the official street.

In 1842, on the site of the former farm building, the north-western part of the modern house was erected. In 1975 - 1977 the building was reconstructed and partly restored. ^{[24] The} house is a monument of architecture of republican significance (AtR 62) and is protected by the state ^[25]
