The house dates back to 1860, being listed on the List of Historic Monuments of Romania in 2010 under the code LMI - BT-II-m-B-01974. The building was bought by the composer's father, Costache Enescu, in 1910, and his son lived here for 9 years. The house became a museum in 1957, being organized by a group of intellectuals from Dorohoi, headed by Professor Constantin Radinschi. The museum houses today an important collection of documents and objects of great value belonging to the great musician: vintage furniture, a piano, a wand, violins, scores and manuscripts, a pair of glasses, a concert costume, books, photographs, personal letters , As well as distinctions that have been awarded to him throughout his career. Among them is a statuette that the distinguished musician received when nominated as an honorary citizen of Dorohoi. The entire treasure of the museum is included in the list of the National Cultural Patrimony. The piano is known to have been made in the 1920s, being bought from Vienna by Tinca, the young man's aunt, especially for giving it to him. The Master used to sing to him every time he visited his father. Here, as it is written on the marble stone at the entrance, in its longest stops, the composer made part of his work: Symphony III, piano quartet op.2 op.30, and others. In 2005, the museum was reorganized, so there is now a musical salon that regularly hosts concerts and recitals. And if a popular saying says the walls have ears, we are not wrong to say that the walls of this house have a musical ear. Because it transforms every interpretation hosted here into a mundane experience.
