The Concrete House, Pumping station and heritage site in Petah Tikva, Israel.

The Concrete House is constructed with kurkar bricks and features large balconies with decorative cornices along its exterior facade.

Built in 1912 by architect Gdaliyahu Wilbushevich, this structure stands as the first concrete building constructed in the Land of Israel.

The building represents the architectural transition period during the Ottoman era when new construction methods were introduced to Palestine.

Located at Hovevei Zion Street 19, the structure maintains its original function as a water pumping station near the Yarkon River.

Bullet marks from World War I remain visible on the building's courtyard walls, providing physical evidence of historical events.
