The building was built as a residence in the 1920s for Jeremiah Boxer, a farmer, and a public figure who worked extensively for the development and expansion of the Jewish community, along with managing a large-scale farm.
\nThe building stands out in its surroundings and faces Tel Aviv Street where there is an avenue of historical buildings of the colony. The building was designed by Haim Teper in the eclectic style and is rich in details and decorations, with a front staircase facing the street and a stylish fence made of prefabricated concrete elements and ironwork. The building is decorated with a variety of murals, special woodwork details and concrete floors illustrated with various patterns.
\nUntil the 1950s, the building served as the center of the colony and many public events took place there.
\nThe Boxer House has been documented, and today conservation and reconstruction operations are being carried out, when the building is completed it will be used as a public building that incorporates work spaces and a caf\u00e9.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
