Built in 1882, the first synagogue was "a brick structure trimmed in stone and an ornament to the city." The land was purchased and the synagogue was built for a total cost of $13,000. It was located on the north side of West Eighth Street, between Myrtle Street and Sassafras Street. The 10th Street location was dedicated on 27 June 1930.
