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.
