Former Kahl Montgomery Synagogue

About

The building at 100 Catoma Street in Montgomery was constructed in 1860–1862 for Kahl Montgomery and completed in 1862 as the city's first purpose-built synagogue. The congregation later adopted Reform practice and in 1874 took the name Temple Beth Or. It left the Catoma Street building around the turn of the twentieth century and sold it to a Church of Christ congregation. The historic structure is no longer a synagogue and is used as Catoma Street Church of Christ, preserving the original building while its religious function has changed. Historic Montgomery building completed in 1862 as Kahl Montgomery's synagogue and now used as Catoma Street Church of Christ. In Jewish World Records, Former Kahl Montgomery Synagogue is connected to the record “Oldest Building in Alabama Originally Built as a Synagogue,” based on the stored achievement of Built in 1862.
