Synagogue building
editIt is an irregular-shaped 20-by-30-foot (6.1 by 9.1 m) building that consists of the original 1903 Victorian Vernacular[2] portion and a large addition to the rear (c. 1920 and 2000). It is a 1+1⁄2-story structure with a front-gabled roof and a 1-story projecting entrance with a low-pitched, front-gabled roof.[3]
The cornerstone of the building was laid December 28, 1903; and the dedication ceremony was held on January 11, 1904.[4]
The synagogue building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2006.[1]
