The house was built in the 1920s by Ismail Haqqi Abdo, former Governor of Akka in Palestine and later, for some time, advisor to Peake Pasha. In 1994, this building was renovated to accommodate more exhibition spaces, a hall for lectures and video film presentations, and administrative offices. A distinctive Circassian porch was added during the restoration.
