Historical monument of class B, the building in Calea Plevnei encompasses a special architectural and historical value, thus being a reference of the past cultural life of Bucharest. The house was built in 1906 under the command of Ioan Clinciu, a renowned history professor. Born in 1864 in Poarta-Bran, Făgăraș county, in a poor family, he dedicated his childhood and youth to studying, facing many difficulties, detailed in his autobiography written in 1936. In 1883, he crossed the border slipping through the mountains, from Bran to Sinaia, in order to enroll in the Higher Normal School in Bucharest, where Alexandru Odobescu was director at that time. Professor Clinciu began his teaching career in 1889, when Gheorghe Lazăr was just a gymnasium that operated in the courtyard of St. Gheorghe Old church. In 1892, he founded, along with Gh. Popa-Lisseanu, his brother-in-law, Clinciu-Popa Boys Institute. This represented for 24 years one of the capital's elite educational establishments, under the French-Romanian High school. In politics, Clinciu was president of the Association of Secondary Teachers, then he became deputy and senator, first in the Conservative-Democratic party, then in the Romanian National party. In his autobiography, Professor Clinciu proudly recalls: I built a house in Bucharest, a villa in Bran and a wine cellar admired by many in Vadu Săpat. The house in Bucharest displays the refinement of the Art Nouveau style specific to the beginning of the 20th century, a mirror of La Belle Époque. The building with ground floor, first floor and attic has a slender figure, completed by a bow-window on the corner. The doors and windows bear Art Nouveau features, with curved, fluid profiles, crowned by stucco ornaments, details that offer an unquestioning elegance of the exterior. Inside, there are still preserved original elements, testimonies of the past bourgeois life of Bucharest: imposing carved wooden staircase, made by one of the most important workshops of the time, at Interlaken (Switzerland), terracotta stoves with carefully decorated tiles, ornamental stuccoes on the ceilings. The main entrance is grand, marked by a porch with a painted ceiling, delimited by the main hall through doors with rounded profiles of carved wood, with windows sandblasted in the Art Nouveau manner. Calea Plevnei from the former Livedea Gospod / St. Constantine slum hosted numerous homes for teachers and intellectuals, often built with their personal means, including the house where the poet George Coșbuc lived for the last years of his life (at no. 40). At the present no. 72 is the home of Gh. Popa-Lisseanu (1866-1945), brother-in-law of the reputed professor Clinciu, historian, philologist and archeologist. After more than 110 years since its construction, this architectural jewel can be brought back to life through a substantially restoration. An important advantage is the large area of the land and its layout, which generates real potential for further real estate development.
