בית בן יהודה

ביתו של אליעזר בן-יהודה, מחיה השפה העברית. אליעזר בן-יהודה נפטר בכ"ו בכסלו תרפ"ג (16.12.1922), זמן קצר לפני שהבית הושלם, ולא זכה לעבור למעונו החדש. אשתו חמדה גרה בבית עם הילדים עד שנפטרה ב-1951. במהלך השנים הפכה חמדה את המקום למרכז להנצחת מפעלו של בן-יהודה, בו נערכו כתביו והופקו חלקי המילון שלא התפרסמו בחייו.
