Fodor's Review:

Dr. A. A. Ticho was a renowned ophthalmologist who immigrated to Jerusalem from Austria in 1912. His cousin, Anna, a trained nurse, followed the same year, to assist him in his pioneering struggle against the endemic scourge of trachoma. They were soon married, and in 1924 bought and renovated this fine, large stone 19th-century house. Anna's artistic talent gradually earned her a reputation as a brilliant chronicler – in charcoal, pen, and brush – of the landscape around Jerusalem. Set among pine trees, just a few steps off the busy downtown streets, Bet Ticho houses a permanent exhibit of Anna Ticho's works and a very good nonmeat restaurant.
