YZ  is an independent, private museum and historical entity. This former residence of Woz. Yimtubezinash Habte was constructed in 1892 E.C., by Indian architects and reflects significant architectural, societal, and historical values, combining Ethiopian and Indian traditional architecture from that period. Despite the fact that the house was built during an dominant patriarchal period, where women’s independence and power were both undervalued, this house was built by a strong and determined woman, Yimtubezinash Habte and is just one of only ten houses registered as heritage sites bearing a woman’s name.
