Temple Adath Israel


I recently discovered we have a synagogue in town that is among the oldest synagogue buildings still standing in the U.S., having been built in 1877. Lived here all my life and I never knew!

This building is irresistible, with the artsy stuff on top. Great find.

Lovely building, and a nice, tight shot.

Lovely Architecture.

The architecture speaks volumes as to its age and beauty. Really like the color of the building with the pastel stained glass windows. The green shrubs really balance out what would have been a bland shot otherwise. Nice tight shot of the entire building.

Beautiful temple and it obviously has been well taken care of. One would never know how old it is. Great shot.

Beautiful building, Kim. Great light, the sky is so nice and blue. It's amazing what you notice when you start taking lots and lots of photos.

What a lovely little temple! None of the pomp and big money influence you see on most of the new churches/temples/synagogues, etc. Just a simple, calm, peaceful little place. Very nice capture!

It's a beautiful building and does look old though I never would have guessed it was built in the 1800's.
Great shot!
