Looking southeast across S. Hobart Boulevard towards Wilshire Boulevard, showing the exterior of the Wilshire Boulevard Temple. This is the seat of one of the most highly respected Reform congregations, founded in 1862 as Congregation B'nai B'rith. Designed in the Byzantine Revival style by architects A.M. Edelman, S. Tilden Norton, and David C. Allison, this Temple was dedicated in 1929. Its richly ornamental interior features black marble, gold inlay, fine mosaics, rare woods, and Biblically-themed murals created by art director Hugo Ballin. The Temple is a Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument and was entered in the United States Register of Historic Places in 1984.
