B'nai Sholom Temple

B’nai Sholom Temple is a former Reform Jewish congregation and synagogue, located in Quincy, Illinois, in the United States.

Founded as a congregation in 1852, the synagogue building was built in 1870 in the Moorish Revival style. The original 80-foot (24 m) high, twin minaret-style towers were damaged by a tornado in 1947 and not replaced.

The temple closed in 2019.
