About the property
Property description
An entire 4-storey
building of
800 sq.m.
on David, or Bucharim St., in The Bucharan
Quarter. The street is a one-way street, and the
building is inset. It can be used for stores,
apartments or a yeshiva. The origins of the
Bukharan Quarter were quite different from those
of Jerusalem’s other early residential
neighborhoods. It was fully planned and financed
by wealthy Jews from Bukhara, Samarkand and
Tashkent and constructed from 1891 to the early
1950s. The quarter was built with wide streets
(three times the width of the broadest
thoroughfares in Jerusalem at the time), spacious
family homes with European, Muslim and Jewish
motifs, and large courtyards. The buildings were
mostly asymmetrical, commensurate with the
residents’ belief that perfection belongs to God
alone. Today many of the buildings in the
quarter are somewhat run-down. The population is
primarily Orthodox and the public transportation
is good.
