with symbolic motifs. Two storeys, ten windows and central plaque on first floor.
On ground floor three central entrances flanked by four windows each side. These

bay projections with narrow blank sections between, have shallow pointed parapets
which accommodate half-hexagonal windows. Hexagonal windows just below these and
also at ground level. Side sections and rear elevation is main front. Synagogue hall
alongside 1937-38 much simpler. Interior shows roof vault of shallow canted sections
reflecting exterior form. Good oak veneered galleries and furnishings. Plain and
functional, but candlestick motif repeated in interior rails. Modern stainless steel
rails and actual candlestick.
