The sign shape is square but its head is designed according to the silhouette of the old building of the Gymnasia Herzliya, which serves as a logo of the Council for the Preservation of Heritage Sites in Israel
From what is written on the sign, it appears that the way of the Peoples House was not a genus in roses: a donation that was promised and did not arrive and a fire that occurred during its construction
The Peoples House was photographed that day

Beit Haam n the early 1960s, when the settlement grew and developed, a need arose for a hall for cultural activities. The association began building the Peoples House and decided to name it after Rose Halperin, a great Zionist activist and philanthropist, who agreed to contribute to the establishment of the "Peoples House".
On July 12, 1964, the newspaper Maariv published: "The inauguration ceremony of the Great House of the People named after Rose Halperin, one of the first leaders of the Hadassah Zionist Organization in the United States, will be held tonight in the village of Batzra in Sharon."
A solemn and impressive ceremony was held on July 12, 1964 with her participation.
The promised donation never came and the Peoples House was built entirely from the money of the members of the moshav.
The construction, by the contractors Yitzhaki and Stabinski from Raanana, lasted several years and was stopped in the middle after one of the Lag BOmer holidays, the children of the moshav lit a fire under the steps of Beit Haam, threw in potatoes and the building caught fire.
From its inception until today, Beit Haam has been a central place for ceremonies, classes for all ages and various community events.
