Temple Adath Israel (transliterated from Hebrew as "Congregation of Israel"[1]) is a Reform Jewish congregation and synagogue, located at 429 Daviess Street, in Owensboro, Kentucky, in the United States.
The congregation was formed in 1858.[1]
Built in 1877,[1] the Moorish Revival façade of the modest building features a Gothic Revival-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.[2] [3]
The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in March 1986.[4] It is among the oldest synagogue buildings in the United States.[5]
