The article presents an outline of the works by Klaŭdzij Duž-Dušeŭski as an architect of the city of Kaunas and the Republic of Lithuania. Duž-Dušeŭski was born in the town of Hlybokaje in the Vilna Governorate (today’s Belarus). In the period of 1921–1959, he lived and worked in Kaunas. He was one of the first graduates of the Technical Faculty at the University of Lithuania (Vytautas Magnus). During the years of 1928–1940, he was the author of several dozen projects of residential and public buildings in Kaunas and the entire territory of the Republic of Lithuania. Most of the residential houses, built exclusively in Kaunas, have survived to this day, in the Center, on the so-called New City, and on the Green Hill intensively developing at that time. The fate of public buildings was less fortunate, especially those built during K. Duž-Dušeŭski’s work in the Post Office Administration (1931–1940), most of them survived the turmoil of war and the Soviet period, but they no longer meet their original function.
