בית הפקידות - מוזיאון המושבה
בניין זה, שנבנה ב-1885, היה אחד משני הבניינים הציבוריים הראשונים במושבה. בתחילה היו כאן משרדיהם של פקידי הברון וחלק מהבית שימש למגורי אחדים מהם.
בקומה השנייה ניתן עדיין לראות את לוחות העץ הרחבים של הרצפה המקורית העשויה מעץ שהובא מאירופה. בשלב מאוחר יותר שימש הבניין למטרות רבות: כבית ועד המושבה, כתחנה של משטרת היישובים העבריים, כבנק הלוואה וחיסכון, כבית המועצה המקומית וכסניף הדואר.
על גג המבנה הותקן בעבר מתקן איתות ליישובי הסביבה. מ-1987 משמש הבניין כמוזיאון המושבה ע"ש ערן שמיר.

Comments:
The sign shape is square but its head is designed according to the silhouette of the old building of the Gymnasia Herzliya, which serves as a logo of the Council for the Preservation of Heritage Sites in Israel

Clerk’s House - The Colony Museum
This building, built in 1885, was one of the first two public buildings in the colony. Initially, the offices of the Baron’s officials were here, and part of the house was used as a living quarters.
On the second floor you can still see the wide wooden boards of the original wooden floor that was brought from Europe. The building was later used for many purposes: as a home to the colony, as a station for the Jewish community police, as a loan and savings bank, as a local council house and post office.
In the past, a signaling facility has been installed for the surrounding communities. From 1987, the building serves as the Eran Shamir Colony Museum.
