Sha'arei Yerushalayim

[5][6] Slated to accommodate approximately 40 homes,[5] Sha'arei Yerushalayim was designed as an "open courtyard"[1] with one- and two-story buildings on all four sides and access ways between them.

[2] Within a decade of its establishment, two major public institutions opened in close proximity: the Sha'arei Zedek Hospital directly across the street in 1902, and the Sephardic Old Age Home for Men and Women further west on Jaffa Road in 1904.

[9] In the census of 1938 conducted by the Vaad HaKehillah (the "Local Committee" of the Jewish community established by Mandate regulation),[10] the population of Sha'arei Yerushalayim was recorded as 400 residents, mostly Sephardi Jews.

[12] Architects created a physical reminder of the historic homes by erecting in their place a concrete memorial inlaid with the original door and window frames of the destroyed buildings.
