The Broadway Street Temple was a predominant image of the early days of Classical Reform. Erected in 1868, its Moorish design paralleled its sister synagogue on Plum Street in Cincinnati, as evidence of the appropriation of the more flexible Sephardic practice and custom. The Broadway Street Temple was the home of our congregation for nearly 40 years when a collapse of the ceiling of the main sanctuary made impossible its use for public worship. During the construction of our next Temple, services were held at the recently established Brith Sholom congregation, foreshadowing a consolidation of the two congregations which would take nearly 100 years to complete.
