Another house in the "Hatechnikum" neighborhood that has a special story inside it is the Glikin family house located at 5 Ahad Ha'am Street, called "Villa Migdal".
Moshe Glikin
Moshe Glikin (1874-1973), born in Moscow, studied political science in Leipzig, from Germany. In 1892 he immigrated to Israel and in 1909 he was invited to manage "Migdal farm” on the banks of the Sea of Galilee, from the foundation of the “Tiberia Lands and Plantation Company”. He tried as much as he could to employ Hebrew workers, among them A.D. Gordon and Joseph Trumpeldor.
In the late 20s he built his house in Haifa, according to the architect's plans Hans Sobelzon. The house was called by its owners "Villa MigdalBecause of the farm he managed on the shores of the Sea of Galilee. Later, the house was used as a boarding house with the same name. At the end of the 40s, during the struggle for the establishment of the state, the building housed the headquarters of the Haganah.
In 1973, shortly before his death, he was crowned "Beloved of Haifa". On his grave it was written, according to his request, "friend and contemporary of Zeev Jabotinsky".
Villa Migdal
The house is a 3-story stone building hidden among trees. The sad is an eclectic style, combining east and west. The entrance is set back from the front of the building and above it is a triangular window. There are also openings decorated with pointed arches or "trapezoidal arches" protected by wooden shutters. A stone staircase and a massive stone balustrade, round and connecting the first floor to the garden.
Architect Hans Sobelzon, the designer of the building
Yohanan Sobelzon was a Haifa architect who immigrated to Israel in 1926 from Vienna, where he graduated from the Higher School of Architecture.
He worked as an independent planner continuously until 1937, when he closed his office and joined the Ministry of Public Works of the mandate government. He designed, among other things, the office building of the Iraqi oil company IPC in Haifa as well as residences in the center of Carmel, but he is mainly known for designing the "Tower Villa" of the Glikin Hospital.
building for conservation
In 2007, the Haifa municipality declared the building "Villa Migdal" as a building for preservation, following a comprehensive survey conducted throughout the city. Renovation works are currently being carried out in the building. One can only hope that the special character of the building will not be damaged.
Dear readers,

Beautiful building
"Contemporary" Brish. A type of reading comprehension
Thank you very much for your comment, I apologize for the pen error, it will be corrected as soon as possible.
One can only hope - because the conservation department, like many departments, has completely collapsed and there is no statutory mandatory conservation plan.
Yahav collapsed the municipality of Haifa to almost a total loss with the failed city engineer Waterman and Klish 'finished the job' and the collapse to the point of dysfunction and unstaffed jobs and an engineering manager who supervises nothing.
It is not clear to me how the State Comptroller does not intervene in the issue and allows dysfunction or dysfunctional and irresponsible functioning in dozens of areas in the municipality's lakes. The municipality of Haifa must stop the destruction of the rare and special historical buildings on a national and international level in Hadar.
All your assumptions and how will you explain that Adon Yahav is leading in the polls and is probably the next mayor? It's crazy what's happening in this city, they bring back the worst mayor and demonstrate in a flash against the best government that was here. Even if the author of the article will not agree with me and will go tomorrow as usual to demonstrate against the government and bring his records to Elek.
thank you for your response. There is no connection between my opinion on the legal reform and the topic of the article.
thank you for your response.
My words were written following your comment from 3/9/23 in which you wrote in one of the comments after the article: "I hope that thanks to these bored people, Israel will be prevented from becoming a dictatorship". The things, in my opinion, reflected your political opinion regarding the government regarding the reform.
And if you did take a side in the political debate, it is legitimate to receive criticism from the other side.
At the same time, this response of mine is indeed not related to this article as you mentioned and I accept your comment and in the future I will respond to when there are demonstrations against the government and the reform and records are imported on this subject.
