The Hershberg House / © Tel Aviv Fever
From where do this restoration/renovation architects in Tel-Aviv (at least a part of them) received this horrible ‘ taste’??
On the Ben-Jehuda Street no. 8, you will find the famous Hershberg House, designed in 1926 by Joseph Berlin.
Berlin was born in 1877 in the Ukraine. He studied architecture in Odessa and in St.Petersburg. He emigrated to Palestine in 1921. His early buildings are largely in silicate stone and reminicent of Berlage’s, the Dutch architect from Amsterdam (!), brick buildings.
In 1998/99 the Hershberg House was restored and the restoration architect thought it was ‘proper’ to add an aluminium floor on top of this historic building. A ‘matter of taste”.
