Created By: University of Tasmania
Location: St John Street
Year: 1844
Architect: Richard Lambeth
Style: Egyptian Revival
Notes: A rare example of this style, though the Hobart synagogue is in the same idiom. Use of the Egyptian idiom makes symbolic reference to Jewish Exodus from Egypt. Note the slanted sides to the facade, matched by the central window.
