The house No 90 Tho Nhuom street - a revolutionary relic site of Party foundation
The colonial house on Tho Nhuom Street is one of several houses that are evidence of the glorious history of the Communist Party of Vietnam.

The house is where Tran Phu (1904 - 1931) the first General Secretary of the Party wrote the Draft of Political Thesis - “Thesis on Bourgeois Civil Rights Revolution ”.  

A corner of Hang Bong Nhuom (Tho Nhuom) Street, where was known as “Western” street at that time. The house No. 90 has four floors with the villa style. 

This house was owned by Mr. Bertheur - a French inspector of the Central Department of Finance under the French colonial government at that time. 

In early May 1930, comrade Tran Phu, a Vietnamese revolutionary and the first general secretary of the Communist Party moved to live in this house. 

His room in the basement was six square meters, enough for a bed with a window overlooking the street where he was able to see the main gate and notice everything outside and escape to the backyard when necessary.

Many meetings took place here until midnight. The comrades in the Standing Committee often slept right on chairs in the hallway. 
During the time of writing the draft of Party-Political Thesis, comrade Tran Phu often sat on the floor and used his bed as a desk.

In 1960, on the 30th anniversary of the establishment of the Communist Party, the house was recognized as the birthplace of the Party' Political Thesis and became an important relic. 

On the 1,000th anniversary of Thang Long-Hanoi capital establishment in 2010, the house was restored to become a historic spot attracting a lot of visitors.
