The large house and warehouse, adjacent to it, were built by Shoshana Presitz and became known as the "Art House" in Holon.
Shoshana Presitz (1892-1969), born in Kiev, Ukraine, studied in Moscow and the Sorbonne in Paris. In 1917, she established a quality publishing book for childrens books called "Art".
She immigrated to Israel in 1925, joined the "General Zionists", was a member of the Tel Aviv City Council and later a member of the First, Second and Third Knesset. The British Mandate authorities took over the "Art House" and set up an army warehouse there.
On Friday night, February 6, 1946, the Lehi members broke into a building with the aim of stealing weapons for the organizations needs. During the break-in, a British sentry officer was killed. In response, British soldiers from an African battalion, which were placed near the site, broke into the streets of Agrobank neighborhood and murdered teenager Eliyahu Yudaiyub, the resident of the neighborhood Shmuel Perlman and the chairman of the neighborhood committee - Ben Zion Shankar .
