Jewish Synagogue, Nashville, 1900

The Vine Street Temple (Congregation Ohabai Shalom) was located at 136 Seventh Avenue North (Vine Street became Seventh Avenue in 1904). The Byzantine style building had nine domes and was dedicated on 27 May 1876. It was Nashville’s first synagogue and home to its Jewish reform congregations for eighty years. After the congregation moved to Harding Road, one of the domes was struck by lightning, and it was sold and demolished in 1955.
