Murder on Rothschild Boulevard

An exciting crime story, I did find in the Ha’aretz Magazine ( July the 10th) written by Dalia Karpel. On Sunday, April the 30th /1939, Avraham Fogel (age 71) was found murdered on the 2nd floor of his house on Rothschild Boulevard no. 12 (designed in 1914). Avraham Fogel was one of the founders of Tel Aviv and took part in the famous ‘sea-shell lottery‘ on April 11th 1909. His house was the 2nd house that was build on Rothschild Boulevard. Until today his murder was never solved and no one was brought to trial for his cruel crime. The Fogel House is on the list of structures for preservation and is under care of Tel Aviv’s best restoration architect: Amnon Bar-Or. … Read entire article »

The Pollack House on Herzl Street

Herewith some pictures (July 17th 2009) from the Pollack House (1910) on Herzl Street no. 1. In this building was the studio of Avraham Soskin (1881- 1963). Thanks to him we have photo archives of the early history of Tel Aviv. His most famous picture is of course: the seashell lottery, 3 km north of Yafo on April 11th 1909. I think it is time that the Municipality of Tel Aviv start to honor her most famous photographer and start to restore the building and re-open his studio as a museum! … Read entire article »
