12. BETH ISREAL SYNAGOGUE

The first Hebrew congregation was organized in 1849 and consisted of ten men who held prayer meetings in homes until the present building was erected on land donated by the D & H Canal Co. in 1852. It is of Romanesque architecture. The structure is the smallest synagogue in America having had a continuous congregation since its founding.
