Architecture and Restoration
Since 2003, the Tel Aviv municipality has been working to preserve and restore Sarona. To make way for a highway, techniques were developed for moving some of the houses to a more convenient location.
Houses marked for preservation:
-
- Original Community House (No 25)
- Old Lämmle House (No 19)
- Glenk House (No 61)
- The New Community House (No 9a)
- Friedrich Häring House (No 52)
- New School and Community Complex (No 84)
- Immanuel Steller House (No 55)
In 2008, after the widening of Kaplan Street, which required moving four houses and the old Gemeindehaus, the area to the south was renamed Ganei Sarona (Sarona Gardens).
