Sons of Abraham Synagogue

The first Jewish congregation in Lafayette organized in the 1840s and officially formed into an orthodox congregation in 1889. This building was constructed in 1904 and was a cross between modern and traditional architecture at the time it was created. The stain glass window above the entry shows a menorah during daylight and a kiddush cup during the nighttime due to the coloring of the glass.
