History
Besides cultural center, the house has an accommodation with the structure similar to a small hotel. When great writers from other states come to the Federal Capital to participate in events, can stay at home for free for a period of up to 40 days. This contributes to artists who do not have many resources can present their work at events in the Federal District, as the Book Fair. Besides increasing the exchange between artists from the DF and other states.

Designed by Oscar Niemeyer, the house is the only work of the architect out of the Pilot Plan. Its architecture is maintained almost unique, since the previous administration made ​​some changes, which took a door and added windows. The current administrator changed the colors of the facade and had to return the original painting by Niemeyer's own requirement, does not allow modifications in their works. The home features an acoustic shell that allows sound to escape from every room, resembling a theater, where you can hear clearly up to the last rows of bleachers. This feature makes the house a great stage for the spread of northeastern culture, whether through music or theater.

For nine years the house of the singer was under the responsibility of management of Ceilândia that was depriving the original proposal for the site. Reaching out to rent the space as ballroom, on the grounds that it would be to keep costs because the government lacked support. Earlier this year Secretary of Culture of the Federal District has taken over the space and is promoting a reform that should last until December. The current administrator of the home, Rosalia Alves Bezerra, is the daughter of one of the founders, and focus on revitalizing the area, and the rescue of what his father created.
