Description |
English: The oldest synagogue in Washington state, Chevra Bikur Cholim (Hebrew for Society for visiting the sick), now Bikur Cholim Machzikay Hadath, incorporated in Seattle in 1891 with the purpose of caring for the sick and providing proper burial. Within a decade it evolved into a religious congregation and services were held in Red Man's Hall on Second Avenue and Seneca Street. Bikur Cholim's first synagogue was a former private residence remodeled in 1898, at 14th Avenue and Washington Street, which became the center of Jewish Orthodox religious and social activity in Seattle. This image of the exterior of the congregation's first synagogue was taken between 1898 and 1915, when the congregation moved to the newly-constructed synagogue at 17th Avenue and Yesler Way.
