בית הדין הצבאי
במבנה זה שכן בית הדין הצבאי העליון של שלטונות המנדט הבריטי ובו התקיימו משפטיהם של לוחמי המחתרות העבריות - הגנה אצ"ל ולח’’י. לוחמי המחתרות סירבו להכיר בסמכותו של בית הדין לדון אותם, ודרשו להכיר בהם כשבויי מלחמה. רבים מלוחמי המחתרות שנידונו בבית דין זה נידונו למוות, ועשרה מהם הועלו לגרדום.
לאחר עזיבת הבריטים, שימש המקום כבסיס יציאה לגדוד "מוריה" של חטיבת עציוני. ממנו יצאו לכיבוש דרום העיר ב"מבצע קלשון" ולקרבות שנועדו לבלום את הכוחות המצריים שהתקרבו לרמת רחל.

The Supreme Military Tribunal Building

Translation of the text on the sign:
[The first paragraph in the Hebrew version contains another line, below is the full paragraph]
This building served as the Supreme Military Tribunal headquarters during the British Mandate era where the trails of Haganah, Irgun, and Lehi fighters were conducted. The underground fighters refused to recognize the tribunal’s authority to judge them, and demanded that they be recognized as prisoners of war. Many of the underground fighters sentenced in this court were sentenced to death, and ten of them were hanged.
