Mashiach Borochoff House () is a historical building located at 64 Jaffa Road in Jerusalem. Built in 1908 in eclectic style, its entrance is covered by an arcade with pointed arches supported by pseudo-Corinthian columns. The gate, in the style of 17th-century Georgian architecture, consists of two pillars connected by ironwork. A lion statue is placed atop each pillar. The house was built by Mashiach Borochoff, a wealthy Bukharan Jewish merchant, as a family residence. In 1947, a year after Borochoff's death, the property was sold to Barclays bank. It has functioned as a bank branch since that time. Read more on Wikipedia
