Colonel Vytautas Augustauskas
This modest wooden house served as abode for the lieutenant colonel Vytautas Augustauskas in 1930-1944, who became the director of Kulautuva which was granted the status of a resort town in 1933. The progress of Kulautuva is owed to this person who held this office free of charge.
On the initiative of V. Augustauskas, a resort plan was prepared (designer Jonas Kova-Kovalskis), streets were planted with linden trees and white acacias, a pond was dug out, and a school was founded. Benches were placed in the park and President Antanas Smetona alley, a number of entertainment venues were set up. A post office, two quays, photo shop, stores, police station, local power plant, bus station, etc. operated in the town at that time. Arranged like that and frequented by visitors the resort town could compete with Palanga and Birštonas. On weekends, a hussars orchestra used to play many sightseers would come over.
This house was also used for headquarters of Kulautuva Directorate with a lockup in the basement.
