Comments:

A sign of the Jerusalem "The Built Heritage" series, a project initiated by architectural historian David Kroyanker in 1993, in which buildings of historic value were commemorated in central Jerusalem.
The signs were designed by Harel Designers Office, and the logo is in the form of a relief of a rosette window ("Rosetta").

The building was photographed six months before the sign was photographed

On the same building (on the side facing Jaffa Street) are two signs of heritage sites in Israel: the explosion of the police headquarters
