בית שמעון רייך
בית שמעון רייך הוקם בשנת 1937 כבית מגורים, בסגנון בינלאומי מאופק.
עד שנת 1939 הוצבה על גג הבית עמדת תצפית מצוידת בזרקורים. פלוגות הלילה יצאו מכאן לפעילויות בגליל המערבי.
בתקופת ההעפלה שימש המבנה לאירוח זמני של המעפילים, כשבמקביל התארחו בבית קצינים בריטיים. תקופה קצרה שימש המבנה כמועדון לילה ובית קפה בשם "ארמון" ובהמשך מוקמה בו תחנת המשטרה המקומית.
ב- 1959 נרכש המבנה על ידי המועצה המקומית של נהריה והפך לספריה הציבורית שפעלה במקום עד שנת 2005.

Translation of the text on the sign:
[The Hebrew text contains several additional details, and is presented here in full]

Shimon Reich House
The Shimon Reich House was built in 1937 as a private residence, in a restrained international style.
Until 1939, an observation post equipped with searchlights was stationed on the roof. The night squads set out from here for operations in the Western Galilee.
During the Aliyah Bet (illegal immigration) period, the building was used for temporary sheltering of immigrants, while at the same time British officers were hosted in the house. For a short time, the building operated as a nightclub and café called “Armon” (“Palace”), and later became the local police station.
In 1959, the building was purchased by the Nahariya local council and served as the public library until 2005.
