It is a shame that only part of it remains and not the entirity of it all. What a great looking example of religious architecture.

Among other attributes, it was said to have excellent acoustics. Of course that preservation effort failed, but another religious building was adapted for use as Seattle's "town hall". As I recall, Brewster published quite a few articles in support of saving the building and it should be possible to learn more from him or from the archives of his former newspaper, the "Seattle Weekly".

In 1924 the Temple Center was created, this Temple was superseded by the current Alahadeff Sanctuary building on September 21, 1960. In 1973 the Temple Center was refurbished and expanded, including the construction of the Schoenfeld-Garfield Chapel. The 1908 Temple was demolished around this time due to the deterioration of the structure. The Ark and the stained glass windows were saved from the original structure and now are prominent parts of the Chapel. A few interesting notes about Temple De Hirsch Sinai: Jimi Hendrix played a concert in our Sidney Jaffe Auditorium before he became a world famous rock star. TDHS is the oldest and largest Reform Jewish Synagogue in Washington State. Samuel E. Goldfarb, writer of the famous Dreidel Song, was Musical Director from 1930 thru 1963. Temple De Hirsch merged with Temple Sinai of Bellevue, Washington on January 29, 1971 becoming Temple De Hirsch Sinai. Temple De Hirsch Sinai 1908 to Present
