In 1797 the citizens of Memel founded a Fund for Merchants' Widows. In the second half of the 19th c. it purchased a plot at S. Daukanto Street 28 and in 1878 built a shelter for merchants' widows. The masonry building had two floors, was 124 feet (~38 m) long with three entrances on the street size. The façade featured more architectural details: the windows were decorated with cornices, resting against modillions. The windows in the extended wall above the second floor provided light to the attic. The top of the avant-corps (with staircases) featured three arched windows. The building had 6 apartments and its attractive façade decorated the street. In 1825 the building was renovated.
