Government Mint building, Jerusalem
Government Mint building, Jerusalem
The National Mint Building was designed by Austin Harrisson, in the 1930’s. When the state of Israel took over, it went on working as a printing press until 1980. All the official documents such as the “Declaration of Independence” were printed there.
It was declared by the municipality to be of a high classification for preservation. The building was primarily industrial and its renovation has adjusted it to the modern needs of a high-tech work.
