This Reform congregation's fifth
and current building, Temple Sholom, was designed by a team of two architectural
firms, one Jewish (Loebel, Schsman and Demuth) and one non-Jewish (Coolidge
and Hodgedon). Its octagonal Byzantine structure is said to represent a Middle
Eastern style, communal prayer, study and assembly under one domed roof.
It was dedicated on April 4, 1930. Some roofing repairs in the 1950's have
replaced the designs seen in this postcard with a current plain roof. This
postcard was printed in honor of the 1933 Chicago World's Fair.
