Conservation planning in Neve Tzedek on 6 Ein Ganim Street, Tel Aviv

The Dov Borde family house was erected in the early 19th century as a two-story building with a pitched roof. The building serves as a landmark, being one of the houses built before World War I in the Ohel Moshe neighborhood.

Constructed before the rise of professionally trained architects, it bears the influence of vernacular architecture. Built without the assistance of an architect, it relied on the knowledge and experience of the builders along with the technology and materials available to them. This dictated the layout and size of the rooms. Similar to the architectural style known as "Arab House", it is built from local limestone, with prominent house corners, and a symmetrical facade divided into three sections, with the central section projecting and featuring a round arched window. The side sections on the second floor have balconies with ornate wrought iron railings supported by concrete columns, and at the rear, there is a long balcony.

The building stands abandoned today and is undergoing preservation planning according to the municipal urban plan for Neve Tzedek.
