בבית הזה חפרו לוחמי הארגון הצבאי הלאומי,
בתמוז תש"ז (יוני 1947),
מנהרה לכיוון "בית הדר", אשר שימש מתקן צבא בריטי, במטרה לפוצצו.
גילוי המנהרה ע"י "ההגנה" מנע את השלמת המשימה.

In June 1947, Etzel fighters dug a tunnel from this house leading to Beit Hadar, a British Army installation which they intended to blow up.
The completion of their plan was foiled after the Hagana uncovered the tunnel.
