East Melbourne Synagogue

28 July 2013:

East Melbourne Hebrew Congregation/ Melbourne City Synagogue, 1877 but facade 1883 (what did it look like before then ?). Both parts designed by Crouch & Wilson, who were not Jewish, in fact did lots of churches, mostly Gothic but here classical, with slightly exotic pointed domes. Inside, rather spacious, also classical, with galleries supported on posts with great carved timber bits, and a grand decorated nigh housing the Ark and Torah scrolls.
