Sometimes it was called godora or pita pitsari, because it was constructed from short and wide board cut with axe. This Sajalabo house belonged to Davitaia family. According to the legend, in XIX centuty master of the family was Dziku Davitaia who built the house. The founder of the Open Air Museum of Ethnography, academician G.Chitaia selected this house as a museum exhibit during his expedition in Samegrelo. The museum bought the house, numbered its component parts, brought to the museum and reconstructed it in 1976. The Ethnoraphy Museum exhibition begins with this house.
