Stern House, Historic building in Mamilla district, Jerusalem, Israel.
The Stern House stands as a three-story European-style stone structure at 18 Mamilla Street, featuring traditional architectural elements from the late 19th century.
Built in 1877 by German immigrant Yehuda Stern, the house provided lodging for Theodor Herzl during his diplomatic mission to Jerusalem in 1898.
The building represents the architectural transition period when wealthy Jewish families began establishing residences outside Jerusalem's Old City walls in the Ottoman era.
The preserved building now functions as the Jerusalem flagship store of Steimatzky bookstore chain, including an outdoor cafe and a free museum.
Each stone of the original structure was numbered, removed, stored, and precisely reconstructed following preservation efforts in the late 20th century.
