Jewish Synagogue (Franklin and Ryland St.) Richmond, Va.

Card Text (transcribed from postcard): Beth Ahaba ('House of Love,') the beautiful Jewish Synagogue located at Ryland and Franklin Streets, was dedicated on Dec. 9, 1904 with impressive ceremonies. The building is a perfect octagon, with a Doric portico and columns attached in front. It is easily the handsomest and most commodious synagogue in the South, and will compare favorably with any other in this country.
