The Ben-Gurion House was built in 1930-31, when the first workers` neighbourhood was established on Keren Kayemet Le`Israel (The Jewish National Fund) land. Like all other houses built in that neighbourhood, it was a one-family house, planned by the late engineer David Tuvia. The price of the house, 350 Palestinian Pounds, was paid by instalments, by Paula and David Ben-Gurion. The building was enlarged in 1946 and again renovated in 1960.
It was Paula and David Ben-Gurion's permanent home until they settled in Sde-Boker. Later on, they lived alternately here and in their "tsriff" in Sde-Boker, until Ben-Gurion's death in 1973.
