Touro Synagogue, Congregation Jeshuat Israel, 85 Touro St Newport, Newport County, RI
Touro Synagogue is perhaps Peter Harrison`s most successful building. Although it presents a most severe facade to the street, the interior treatment, including carved wooden furnishings and galleries, is a rich, sophisticated work characteristic of English and Continental design of the mid-18th century.
