Shalom Meir Tower

This decision was later regretted and the contour of the Herzliya Gymnasium became the emblem of the Council for Conservation of Heritage Sites in Israel, which was founded partially as a response to the building's fate.

[5] Shalom-Shachna Meir married the daughter of a rich manufacturer from the Romanian region of Moldova, where he lived until 1920, becoming a successful businessman as well as a leader of the local Zionists.

[5] In 1920 he emigrated to Palestine where he became an important public figure in the early years of Tel Aviv, a member of the town's first city council, and one of the founders of Ramat Gan.

[5] The building has a cream hue tile facade which was created especially for the tower and was manufactured in Italy.

[6] The ground-floor retail promenade features a mosaic mural by the Israeli artist Nachum Gutman[7][8] facing another one by David Sharir.
