1914 – Agoudas Hakehilos Synagogue, Paris, France
Architect: Hector Guimard
Designed by Hector Guimard who is better known for his work on the Paris Metro, this synagogue down a narrow street was built for a Polish-Russian Jewish group in 1913. The gently curving facade features tablets on the gable as well as subtle decoration above the doorways. The synagogue is Guimard’s last major project before World War I and the only religious building he designed. Constructed using reinforced concrete for the structure and for the exterior a white stone was used. There is a spectacular galleried interior.
