Description
Photograph of an exterior view of Temple B'Nai B'Rith on Wilshire Boulevard, ca.1920. The temple is built in an Arabesque style with a massive dome over a octagonal base. There is a large circular window in the façade, and below this are three identical arched doorways. There is another similar façade on the left side, but instead of the circular window it has three arched ones. There is a rectangular section of the temple visible in the background to the left. In front of the front façade is a walkway surrounded by plants and small palm trees.
