Hobart Synagogue
This is the Hobart Synagogue and is remarkable for a number of reasons. For a start it is the oldest Synagogue in Australia having been built in 1845 and for the fact that it is a rare example of Egyptian Revival style of synagogue architecture.
Amazingly despite the fact that it is on a busy Hobart Street, I wasn’t even aware that it was there until today and i felt a little sorry for the location slotted in between other buildings with the Tasmania Police building overshadowing it and then there is the strip club and gay bar across the road.
