(A story building lives here) - The couple Aliza and Dr. Yitzhak Itzkovitch lived at 16 Arlozorov St. (today), opposite the building where Raoul Wallenberg, Righteous Among the Nations, lived in the 30s (see article from last week, in the link):
Dr. Itzkovitch
Dr. Itzkovitch, born in Baku (today Azerbaijan), graduated from the medical school in Munich, was one of the first Jewish doctors in Haifa and the first radiologist in the north of the country. He was one of the founders of the National Medical Association and headed its Haifa branch for many years. He initiated the establishment of the "Doctor's House" in Haifa (opposite Bnei Zion Hospital), which was the first "Doctor's House" in Israel, as well as the "Doctor's Home", the home for elderly doctors. In 1970 he received the honorary citizenship of the city of Haifa.
Alexander Bravold, architect of the Itzkovitch House
The house was built in 1930 according to the plans of the architect Alexander Bravold. The building is designed in the Land of Israel style formulated by Brewald, which combines local oriental elements (such as a pointed arch) with European elements. These characteristics can also be identified in other buildings that Brewald designed, starting with the Reali Bahadar School building, through the historic Technion building, the Herman Struck House and others. (Articles in this section have been dedicated to these buildings in the past and readers are invited to review them). The building was declared a building for preservation by the Haifa municipality and a sign detailing its history was placed in front of it.

A beautiful urban villa in Hadar. Hidden by vegetation bushes and construction additions of illegal closures in the front yard.
Instead of the municipality demanding strict preservation, it will help restore the building to its glory - leaving it neglected until they can also destroy it.
Arlozorov Street could really be a construction museum, there are dozens of special buildings along its length in different styles.
thank you for your response. Indeed, you are right.
Wasn't it used by the rabbinate in Haifa at the time?
