Temple Adath Israel (Owensboro, Kentucky)

Temple Adath Israel, is a synagogue in Owensboro, Kentucky. The Moorish Revival facade of the modest building features a gothic-arched door flanked by a pair of gothic-arched windows punctuated by four pilasters. These are surmounted with molded capitals and fanciful embellishments and the whole is topped by a whimsical row of four, small, onion domed turrets. The synagogue was built in 1877.
It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It is among the oldest synagogue buildings still standing in the United States.
