Translation of the text on the sign:

Amiel Maimon House
Beit Maimon Amiel and Shlomo Abu-Shadid, dignitaries of the Western community in Jerusalem, were built in 1878 on the side of the fort that protected the city gate. It was the first Jewish home outside the Old City. On the ground floor there were 50 shops called the "Jewish Bazaar" and above them luxurious apartments.
The northern part of the compound was owned by Aharon Moyal. The facade of the building was demolished by Hassan Bek in 1915 during the renovation of the city in the midst of the First World War.
The house and shop of Aharon Shelush, the founder of Neve Tzedek, were located in the building.
