In 1903 the building passed into the ownership of the general A. Paškevičius who leased the house to the Citizens’ Club – the only cultural public place in Kaunas (“Blagorodnoje sobranije”) till the Kaunas Theatre was found. The governor of Kaunas managed this Club and its members were high officials. In 1882 the building was registered as the Kaunas Citizens‘ Club. Its lithography was even printed among the most distinguished buildings of Kaunas.The former tsar's Citizens' Club was called by the mayor J. Vileišis the Club of “the privileged”.
In 1907 the Actual State Councillor A. Paškevičius and the attoney of Kaunas Nobility Assembly V.P. Šipilinas visited the Notary Officer of Kaunas where a purchase and sale contract was concluded on the basis of which the property was transferred for 23 000 roubles.
