Designed by architect Louis Levi,
whose works also include synagogues in Philadelphia and his
native Baltimore, the building combines several traditional
styles of architecture - Moorish, Romanesque and Byzantine
- that were popular at the turn of the twentieth century.
It is built of light gray vitrified
brick and accented by terra cotta trimmings. It has been called
an outstanding example of American synagogue architecture of the
early twentieth century.
At right: the north wall of the
building shows the brickwork and some of the decorative carvings.
