Allenby Area

This huge building (110 Allenby, corner of Ahad Ha’Am) was constructed in the 1910’s and was a cultural and religious center for the many residents in these parts. These residents are long gone and in the 50’s and 60’s small businesses, restaurants and corporations took their place, which has resulted in a dwindling of the local congregation.  It’s beautiful dome stood in stark contrast to Judaism’s usually bleak houses of prayer, but the dome is barely visible now  that unattractive columns were erected around it.
