The Red House, Public building in central Tel Aviv, Israel
The Red House stands on Nachmani Street with its characteristic red brick exterior and steel staircase reflecting early industrial architecture patterns. The three-story building displays typical features of factory construction from the 1920s with large windows designed to light the work areas.
The building was completed in 1926 by architect Dov Hershkowitz and initially housed the Lodzia textile factory, named after the Polish industrial center. This creation coincided with Tel Aviv's rapid growth when European immigrants established their own manufacturing operations.
The building opened to the public during the Houses from Within event in 2010, displaying posters and advertisements from Israel's early decades. Visitors can see how these spaces functioned as workplaces and learn about the products manufactured within.
The building remains accessible for guided tours where visitors can explore the architectural elements and factory heritage. Plan your visit on weekdays when the interior spaces are best viewed.
The structure maintains its original steel staircase and industrial features despite plans for conversion into residential spaces. This preservation today protects a valuable look at how early factory buildings were constructed.
