Part of Chapin Bowen Photographs
ca. 1931. The first Jewish synagogue in Tacoma was built in 1893 at the corner of So. 10th and So. I St. (921-23 So. I St.) Nineteen years later, the new Temple Beth Israel shown in this photograph was built at 324 No. J St. This building was the home of Tacoma's reform congregation from 1922 until the 1960 merger with Talmud Torah Synagogue. In 1965 it was sold to the Apostolic Faith Church. It still looks very much like it did when this photograph was taken in 1931, and it still retains its beautiful stain glass windows. Bowen# CHU-019
