The proposal to build the Nation's House on Tauras Hill was put forward by Dr Jonas Basanavičius, but representatives of various societies also took an active part in the discussion. M. K. Čiurlionis himself, who enthusiastically supported the idea since 1907, also discussed it in his articles.

November 1907, in the 205th issue of "Vilniaus žinios" (Vilnius News), the Committee of the Lithuanian People's House, which consisted of members of the Lithuanian Art Society and the Lithuanian Science Society, addressed the public with a proclamation calling for the establishment of the "Lithuanian Nation's House": for a single building for meetings of various national societies, choir rehearsals, performances, concerts, and exhibitions of Lithuanian art.
