Temple Adath Israel (Owensboro, Kentucky)
Temple Adath Israel (transliterated from Hebrew as "Congregation of Israel") is a Reform Jewish congregation and synagogue, located at 429 Daviess Street, in Owensboro, Kentucky, in the United States.
The congregation was formed in 1858.
Built in 1877, the Moorish Revival façade of the modest building features a Gothic Revival-arched door flanked by a pair of Gothic-arched windows punctuated by four pilasters. These are surmounted with molded capitals and fanciful embellishments and the whole is topped by a whimsical row of four, small, onion domed turrets.
The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in March 1986. It is among the oldest synagogue buildings in the United States.
