Pagoda House
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Pagoda House (Hebrew: בית הפגודה, Beit HaPagoda) is a landmark building in heart of Tel Aviv, which was built in 1924 in the Eclectic Style (a combination of Western and Eastern styles).[1] The building is located at King Albert Square and was designed by the architect Alexander Levy.[1] Over the decades the building fell into disrepair until the 1990s when it was purchased by an American, renovated and preserved.
The Pagoda House is located at Nahmani-Montefiore streets, and is expressive of Tel Aviv's architectural boom in the 1920s.[1] The building was inspired by a cafe in the United States, the building draws from the American entertainment centers of the "roaring twenties" and connects Oriental and Western styles.[1] The Pagoda House is part of a series of imaginative and ornate buildings built in Tel Aviv in that period.[1]
