The Tahkemoni School at 7 Lilienblum St. was originally designed as a single storey building in the shape of the letter “U” by the architects Baerwald-Berlin in the eclectic style in 1925. It was the first religious school for boys in Tel Aviv (originally in Jaffa) supported by the Mizrahi movement and encouraged by Rabbi Kook. Between 1942 and 1948, the building served as a training center  and weapons cache for the Haganah. During these years a second floor was added and the front of the first floor was altered in the style of the Modern Movement. In the 1970s the school was closed due to a shortage of students and is used today as an “Ulpana” – a religious school for girls.

The building is located outside the buffer zone of the UNESCO Declaration. It was listed for preservation as part of a historic cluster and its impact on the urban fabric is evident.
