"Moshav HaZekenim Hakelali HaMe'uchad" (The General United Retirement Home) was founded in the late 1870s in the Old City of Jerusalem. When the building did not have enough room for all its residents, it was decided to move them to a new building at the entrance to the city, the construction of which was completed in 1901. The building was evacuated in 1966 and the Central Bus Station of Jerusalem was built where it stood.
