Hebrew Reform Temple, 1433 Thirteenth Ave Altoona, Blair County, PA
Hebrew Reform Temple is distinguished by its eclectic Moorish, an 1898 design by Altoona`s premier architect, Charles M. Robinson. Constructed for the Mountain City Hebrew Reform Congregation, a successor of the Orthodox congregation Adavath Achim, which organized in 1874, the building documents the early spread of reform Judaism beyond this country`s major urban centers. In 1924, Altoona`s Greek Orthodox community purchased and renovated the structure, renaming it Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church. The building continues to serve as their house of worship and a religious center for a four-county region.
