Excerpt from Tel Aviv Fever, 15.11.2009:

"Another historic icon in Tel Aviv is gone. The Solel Boneh Arcade at Allenby Street no. 111, a covered passage-way, was designed in the 1950s by Dov Karmi and Arieh Sharon in a modernist style and came to symbolize the era. Within the arcade were 20 small businesses and the famous Tamar Cinema. The 3 upper-floors contained Soleh Boneh, once the largest construction [firm] in Israel, offices. The arcade was destroyed to make space for the 27 floors glass tower the American architect Richard Meier designed on the corner of Allenby and Rothschild Boulevard. The pictures were taken on Friday-afternoon, November 14th."
