Almost contemporaneous with the larger Ohev Sholom (next entry), a block away, this colorful little structure displays a clever combination of Eastern and Georgian motifs. Dark brick corner bastions, lightened by recessed blind arches filled with yellow tile, flank a triple-arched entrance, also highlighted with yellow tile. Terracotta columns with Byzantine caps support arches that spring just before becoming true horseshoe, or Moorish, arches. A wheel window is above the entrance, and above the window a curved cornice supports a panel representing the Tablets of the Law. Though the building is small, its well-thought-out components, based on Near Eastern architectural precedents, clearly identify it as a temple, not a church. In 1975 its orthodox congregation merged with Ohev Sholom Temple, and now, architectural considerations aside, the former synagogue serves as a church.
