Lelijos street is one of the many places in the Zaliakalnis area, where unique-looking private houses and apartment buildings were built between the wars. One such building is a small one-flat two-story house designed and built in 1933 on Leliju st. 5. The designer of the building is engineer-architect Grigorijus Gumeniukas, who designed quite a few residential buildings in Kaunas in the 1930s, that reflects the modern aesthetics of that time.

The owner of this house was Juozas Rapsys. The building is made of brick, its facade is plastered, and the plan is irregular. The exterior of the building is modernist with typical architectural features of that era. The facade combines rectilinear and curvilinear forms. Elegance is especially given to the facade by the Avant-corps, on one of the sides of which there are wide horizontal and slightly curved windows. The other part of the facade is more angular, with only a small rectangular window and an entrance portal. The light-plastered facade of the building is slightly diversified by small horizontal lines of dark color. The upper part of the building is emphasized by typical architectural elements of that time - a thick cornice and a parapet, visually masking a small, pitched roof. Therefore, this private house perfectly represents the modernist aesthetics that spread to the residential architecture of Kaunas in the 1930s.

The purpose and appearance of the building have not changed to this day. This is one of the most elegant houses on Leliju street.
