The chapel pole was the first large example made by Antanas Poskocimas, commissioned by Dr. Jonas Adomavicius. The house also has a gabled doorway extension, a very common characteristic of Lithuanian folk architecture. The same applies to the carved fence which surrounds the property. Dr. Adomavicius clearly wished to have the house look like a typical Lithuanian home in Lithuania. To enhance the effect he planted birch trees, typical of the Lithuanian countryside. Even the birdhouse is typically Lithuanian.
