Haskelberg House
Here used to be the "Menucha Venahala" executive house.
The last occupant of the house, before he was demolished, was Dr. Leon Haskelberg.
In the basement of the house and in the other buildings, during the "struggle" period, "slick" (a hiding place for weapons) was a central part of the "Hagana" in Rehovot.
In the attic, from 1939 to 1937, a grenade explosives factory was operating.
