בית האיכר והמרפאה
המבנה של "בית האיכר" והמרפאה נבנה בשנות ה-60 של המאה ה-20, על קרקע שתרם שמואל גרשמן ז"ל. את המבנה תכנן, בשנת 1959, האדריכל בנימין צ’לנוב, שתכנן מבנים רבים ברחבי הארץ במהלך המאה ה-20. רוב המבנים היו בסגנון המודרניסטי.
עד הקמת המבנה התגורר ד"ר רשו, רופא המושבה, בצריף אשר שימש כביתו ומרפאתו. במקום הצריף הוקם לאחר מכן המבנה הזה.
הקמת המבנה החדש כללה שני חלקים: חלקו האחד הוא "בית האיכר", שהיה מקום התכנסות לפרדסני היישוב, והיו בו משרדי הוועד החקלאי של באר יעקב. חלקו השני של המבנה שימש כמשכנה של קופת חולים "עממית" (כיום מאוחדת), שהייתה קופת חולים של המושבות.
"הרוח החיה" שפעלה במרפאה היה יצחק יצחקי, בנו של הרב יעקב יצחקי, אשר למד רפואה בקושטא (איסטנבול) עם יצחק בן צבי, ועסק בפעילות ציבורית ביישוב.
מבנה המרפאה עדיין משרת את מטרתו הראשונית, ואילו במבנה "בית האיכר" שוכן היום מוזיאון "בית ראשונים" של באר יעקב.

The farmer’s house and the clinic
The building of the "farmer’s house" and clinic was built in the 1960s, on land donated by the late Shmuel Gershman. The building was designed, in 1959, by the architect Benjamin Chelnov, who designed many buildings throughout the country during the 20th century. Most of the buildings were in the modernist style.
Until the construction of the building, Dr. Rashu, the colony doctor, lived in the hut that served as his home and clinic. Instead, this building was erected on the site of the hut.
The construction of the new building included two parts: one part is the "farmer’s house", which was a gathering place for the settlement’s orchards, and housed the offices of the Beer Yaakov Agricultural Committee. The second part of the building served as the residence of a "Amamit" health insurance fund (now Meuhedet), which was the colonies’ health insurance fund.
The "living spirit" that operated in the clinic was Yitzhak Yitzhaki, the son of Rabbi Yaakov Yitzhaki, who studied medicine in Constantinople (Istanbul) with Yitzhak Ben-Zvi, and engaged in public activity in the locality.
The clinic building still serves its initial purpose, while the "Farmer’s House" building now houses the "Beit Rishonim" museum in Beer Yaakov.
