Temple B'nai Shalom (Brookhaven, Mississippi)


Temple B'nai Shalom is a synagogue in Brookhaven, Lincoln County, Mississippi.

History

The congregation formed in 1894. A synagogue building was erected at Chickasaw and South Church streets in 1896. Although still a synagogue, B'nai Shalom holds only occasional services.

Architecture

The white clapboard building is notable for its Moorish Revival Horseshoe arch windows and for a truncated tower that "references the porthole of an Islamic minaret" with a slender Horseshoe arch window.
