Statement of Significance
A most unusual brick building, erected as a home for James Dolphin in 1911-12 but used as a synagogue and Sabbath School by the Brunswick Talmun Torah from 1942 until its closure in 1987, during which time it was the only synagogue north of the City of Melbourne.
The building is notable for its extraordinary portico (of timber?) with oversized entablature supported on paired Ionic columns, its keyhole-shaped front door and windows giving a somewhat Moresque character; and elaborate joinery in the hall and principal rooms. The use of very large terracotta ventilating panels is also of interest.
