Comments:
The house, also called the Wilson House after Shmuel Wilson, the contractor who built it and lived in it, was designed by Yehuda Magidovich, and built in 1923.
The sign with the inscription "Beit Rachel" was made by the buyer of the house from Shmuel Wilson, who opened a fashion house on the site, and thought of paying homage to his wife by writing her name on a sign.
