TEMPLE ADATH ISRAEL

-A A +A
1926, T. Clements Harvey; 1949–1950 classroom annex, Harold Kaplan. 201 S. Bolivar Ave.

Built for a congregation formed in 1923, this temple was designed by a Greenville architect in an austere Moderne version of Byzantine Revival. Twin towers, each finished with a small copper dome, flank the central entrance. A larger copper dome crowns the congregational space, which is illuminated by round-arched stained glass windows by Binswanger and Company of Memphis. The building’s complex massing and interlocking volumes are enriched by geometric designs in the buff brick walls.
