The building is the Washington Avenue Temple, at 100 Washington Ave., built in 1903. This represents the second home for the B'Nai Israel congregation, which predates this building by at least 50 years. In 1925 the building was destroyed by fire, but rebuilt. In 1980, facing dwindling numbers, this congregation merged with Adath Israel and moved to its facility much further east on Washington Ave. The building seen here was sold to Patchwork Central, a community building organization. In 1983, a fire that started in the bakery completely destroyed the building, with the exception of the tower on the left. This building was razed and Patchwork Central built a small, industrial style building, but kept the tower in tribute and memory. The next building up, with the turret, until very recently housed a food co-op that was affiliated with Patchwork Central. That building, at 116 Washington Ave., was built in 1894 according to the tax assessor's database and is in fair condition. 001526895 542__ $$fhttp://rightsstatements.org/vocab/InC-NC/1.0/ 001526895 6531_ $$aLocal Buildings 001526895 6531_ $$aLocal History 001526895 6531_ $$aPlaces of Worship 001526895 6531_ $$aBuildings and Structures 001526895 6531_ $$aPhotographs 001526895 6531_ $$aRelated Materials -- 1951-2000 001526895 6531_ $$aReligion and Spirituality 001526895 655__ $$aBlack and White Photograph 001526895 691__ $$aIndiana 001526895 7001_ $$aBrad Awe 001526895 8564_ $$9493836b1-6705-4ed7-9087-5770915c5db1$$s484927$$uhttps://library.usi.edu/record/1526895/files/6227.jp2 001526895 8564_ $$9ac936e9a-c1f2-4048-813a-bf9dfab1b474$$s875909$$uhttps://library.usi.edu/record/1526895/files/6227.jpg 001526895 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1526895$$pGLOBAL_SET 001526895 914__ $$ap17218coll2 001526895 980__ $$aSpecial & Regional History Collection 001526895 984__ $$aHammond-Awe Collection 001526895 985__ $$aImage
