נבנה בשנת 1882 כאולם התכנסות ותפילה של הקהילה הטמפלרית. באולם התקיימה הפעילות התרבותית שכללה קונצרטים והצגות. הטמפלרים, שכפרו בפולחן הנוצרי-פרוטסטנטי, הקימו בתי קהילה ולא כנסיות. בתקופה מאוחרת יותר שימש המבנה בית תפילה לקהילה הארמנית.

More about this marker. There's a typo in the English text, the building was erected at 1882, as mentioned in the Hebrew and Arabic version.
Regarding The Temple Society People's House. It is worth to mention that (as it is said in the Hebrew version), as part of their belief the people of the Temple Society didn't build churches and used communal houses instead. However, currently it serves as an Armenian church.
