A very beautiful Bauhaus design, you will find on the corner of Rothschild Boulevard no.117 and Bar-Ilan Street no.17. It is the ‘Aharonovitch House’ designed in 1933 by Yizhak Rapoport, with this typical Bauhaus-style glass- windows staircase and balconies. Rapoport was born in 1901 in the Ukraine and emigrated with his parents in 1914 to Palestine. He attended the Jewish-French Alliance Grammar School in Alexandria (Egypt) and the Gymnasium Herzliya in Tel-Aviv. He studied architecture at the Technische Hochschule in Berlin (1922-1924) and until 1926 at the ‘Ecole Speciale des Travaux Publics‘ in Paris. He returned to Palestine in 1928,  here he designed 11 buildings in his favourite Bauhaus style (1932-1947). Yizhak Rapoport died in 1989 in Tel-Aviv.
His wonderful design at the corner of Rothschild and Bar-Ilan needs a ‘face-lift’ badly!!
