The house at 6 Salame Street was built in the mid-19th century for the Armenian Murad family. At the end of World War I, the Hajj family moved in and earned a living by exporting citrus fruits. According to inscriptions uncovered during renovations, it appears that in addition to the well, the house itself was used as an office and packinghouse. The family remained in the home during the fighting in 1948, but ran into financial difficulties and in the 1960s emigrated to Britain. As part of the establishment of the NOYA project in Jaffa, the developer renovated the well house located at the front of the complex. The Yafo municipality contacted the company with a request to formulate a program for the building’s operation. The company prepared an initial content program, which included recruiting partners, as well as an initial economic model for operations. The company defined a mix of uses that balances the needs of the developing community in North Jaffa and educational and cultural services for the public, with an emphasis on the diverse populations from all areas in Jaffa.
