Reuven Camp is a complex with two story buildings at the corner of Rothschild and Balfour street in Bat Yam. The building was named after Reuven Pinchas who was the second victim of Bat-Yam in the war of independence.
During the British period, the compound served as mental hospital for the mentally ill. Later, during the war the main building served as a command post for the Haganah and served as a forward position between Bat-Yam and Jaffa. During this period it served as a gathering place for fighters before embarking on battles in the Jaffa area. Despite the physical location in the city center of Bat-Yam, as a result of a historical error in the topographical division between the cities, the area on which it was built belonged to the municipality of Tel-AVIV, as a kind of enclave which they refused to give up without compensation. As a result of this state of affairs the building has been standing for decades. In 2013 tel-aviv sold the complex to an investment company that sought to build residential, commercial and public buildings in its place.
בנין מחנה ראובן נקרא ע"ש ראובן פנחס החלל השני של בת-ים במלחמה המקום שימש כבית חולים לחולי נפש בשם גפן
והיה בכיכר וינגייט בגלל טעות המבנה היה שייך לתל-אביב, והיה מעין מובלעת במרכז בת-ים. לכן עמד המבנה מזה
עשרות שנים כשהוא נטוש ומהווה מטרד אסתטי ותברואתי במרכז העיר. ב2013 נמכר המקום למשקיעים שבקשו לבנות עליו
אך עיריית בת-ים הודיעה שהמבנה לשימור ישופץ וישמש מוזיאון לתולדות העיר
