Mashiach Borochoff House

Mashiach Borochoff House (Hebrew: בית משיח בורוכוף) is a historical building located at 64 Jaffa Road in Jerusalem.

Built in 1908 in eclectic style, its entrance is covered by an arcade with pointed arches supported by pseudo-Corinthian columns.

The house was built by Mashiach Borochoff, a wealthy Bukharan Jewish merchant, as a family residence.

In 1919 he moved the family's assets to Palestine and settled in Jerusalem, where he worked as an activist on behalf of the Sephardic Jewish community.

[5] It was surrounded by other prestigious buildings, including the home of Joseph Navon to the north and the Kaminetz Hotel to the west.

[3] The overall effect was meant to impress and attract the attention of passersby on Jaffa Road, the main Jerusalem thoroughfare.

[9] The ironwork front gate hangs between two pillar piers with a scrollwork overthrow bearing the date of construction, 1908.
