A building from 1938 at 23 Jaffa Street, Jerusalem. Built in the international and traditional Jerusalem styles. The hall has a 27 meter long mural by Avraham Ofek, describing the pioneers in the early 20th century and the development of Jerusalem.
Description
English: central Jerusalem, Coresh street (aka Koresh) behin Jerusalem's Central Post Office, British cast-iron pillar boxes in Jerusalem, dating from the British Mandate of Palestine. Until the State of Israel was created in 1948 there was a Royal cypher on the door of the pillar box; probably that of King George V. This was ground off after Israel gained independence.
עברית: בניין בית הדואר המרכזי ירושלים
