Agron House

Constructed in memory of Gershon Agron, it has housed various Israeli national institutions in pursuit of the arts.

They first convened a year after his death in Moshe Sharett's room in the Savoy Hilton Hotel in New York to plan a memorial project dedicated to Agron.

[7] It was created as the headquarters of the Israeli Press Association, where Jerusalem's journalists were all based,[6] but no longer serves this purpose.

[11] The Jerusalem Cinematheque (founded by Lia van Leer) existed at Agron House from 1975 until the 1980s; a 1980 grant saw construction of its own building begin.

That year, the Bezalel school won a tender to operate the building, splitting it between dorms and commercial space.
