Beit Haam - the gathering house
(Gemeindehaus) Among the public buildings in the Templar colony was the most important Peoples House. The building was built among the first ten houses in the colony and was used for assemblies of the members of the association, on Sundays it served as a church. In this building, the "Wilhelma Conference" was held in 1911, at which decisions were made on education issues.
The Peoples House was established as part of the line of residences. It was built in a simple style, with no interior or exterior decorations and included a conference room and a large gathering hall with a preacher stage. On the roof of the building was a tower covered with shingles for one bell. At the front, above the front door, was a triangular pediment with a clock fixed to it. The building had arched windows and a stone front door.
In the early 1950s, the bell tower and pediment were removed, the original windows and door were sealed and only the stone reliefs of the window frames and doorways remained.
Religious symbols of worship were collected from the building and handed over to the Christian Church in Jerusalem.
Initially, the building served as the peoples home of Moshav Bnei Atarot. Today it is used as a sports hall and events hall of the regional school.
