Villa Lea stands out with its curved, cream-colored stone balconies and a prominent rounded tower that anchors the street corner. Built in the nineteen thirties, this house served as the residence of Anton Dilwani, a wealthy Arab merchant. He hired an architect to craft a home that blended local limestone craftsmanship with the sleek, rounded lines of the International Style. When the nineteen forty-eight war broke out, Dilwani left, and the house became home to various Israeli officials, including the poet Leah Goldberg.
