This photograph of the Talmud Torah Synagogue, 901 South 4th Street, was taken shortly before its dedication on September 18, 1925. The synagogue was designed by Hill and Mock, architects, in the Romanesque Italian Renaissance manner. It was located at South 4th & I Streets and served the Orthodox Jewish community in Tacoma. The dedication was held in conjunction with the start of Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year. In 1968, after the merger of Talmud Torah and Temple Beth Israel into Temple Beth El, the Talmud Torah Synagogue was sold to the Tacoma Blood Bank. It was later demolished and the site was used as a parking lot for Tacoma General Hospital. (WSHS) (TNT 9/17/1925, PG. 20)
