בית הפועלים

"בית הפועלים" נבנה על-ידי הסתדרות העובדים בשנת 1937. המבנה בסגנון הבינלאומי תוכנן ע"י האדריכל אריה שרון, בוגר בית הספר "באוהאוס" ולימים חתן פרס ישראל לאדריכלות.
המבנה נועד להחליף את בית הפועלים הראשון, שקדם לו על ראש הגבעה. ייעודו העיקרי של בית הפועלים היה לאפשר להתאסף, ללמוד ולהקשיב להרצאות. בבית זה התאסף גם ועד הפועלים של הסתדרות העובדים, שדאג לזכויות הפועלים בעיר רמת-גן, בה התפתחה התעשייה בקצב מהיר.
בשנת 1957 הושכר הבית לתנועת העבודה, שהשתמשה בו כבית ספר להכשרת אקדמאים לשילוב בשוק העבודה.
בשנות התשעים, נקנה הבית על-ידי עיריית רמת-גן אשר החליטה לשמרו ולאכלס בו את שבט צופי עלית.
בכך, חזר הבית לייעודו, כמבנה ציבור המפאר את הנוף העירוני, כמבנה אדריכלי איכותי וחשוב בסגנון הבינלאומי.

"Workers Building" was built by the Histadrut (General Organization of Workers in Israel) in 1937. The international style building was designed by architect Arieh Sharon, a graduate of the Bauhaus School and later the Israel Prize for Architecture.
The building was intended to replace the first workers’ house, which preceded it on the top of the hill. The main purpose of the workers’ house was to enable them to gather, learn and listen to lectures. In this house, the workers ’union committee also met, which took care of the workers’ rights in the city of Ramat Gan, where the industry developed at a rapid pace.
In 1957, the house was rented to the labor party, which used it as an Academics’ training school for integration into the labor market.
In the 1990s, the house was bought by the municipality of Ramat Gan, which decided to preserve and populate the Tzofi Elite tribe (Israel Scout).
In doing so, the house returned to its designation, as a public building that glorifies the urban landscape, as a high-quality and important architectural structure in the international style.
