The home of Dr. János Espersit János (1879-1931) was regarded as one of the most significant intellectual centre of Dél-Alföld. Dr. János Espersit was a solicitor, periodical editor, and a patron of literature and arts. Gyula Juhász was writing in his home, and Attila József was staying here for months, too. The third outstanding writer of the Hungarian literature that visited the home was Ferenc Móra.

The building has been serving as an exhibition hall since 1979.
