Yemin Moshe, the first dwellings built outside the safety of the Old City walls, in the 1860's. Rothschild funded it, even building a windmill though it never worked right. For years this area, just outside the old city, decayed (sniper fire will do that), but now it is a very upscale area. Now "new" Jerusalem is many times larger than the ancient city
