Description
Photo of Temple Beth-El Moorish Revival Synagogue, finished in 1900, located in Corsicana, Texas.
The Moorish Revival synagogue is located at 208 South 15th Street in Corsicana, Texas. It became a recorded Texas Historical Landmark in 1981 and added to to the National Register of Historic Places on February 3, 1987.
The synagogue was built by a Reform Jewish congregation in 1898-1900. It is a wood frame building, with clapboard siding, keyhole windows in the front doors, and a pair of octagonal towers topped by onion domes.
The Jewish community of Corsicana, established in 1871, dwindled in the late twentieth century, spurring the Navarro County Historical Society to take responsibility for the synagogue which, because of its unusual architecture, has been restored and is now in use as a community center.
