Where Am I? No. 193 - Building

[Rosinish]

Hi Guys,

Was doing a search for another RC query & came across this...................

Not what your looking for but resembles some of the characteristics so wondered if your building may be in the Middlesex area where this is 

Probably way off but thought it was worth posting

Before I enlarged it my 1st thought was "that resembles 1 of the WAI's"

Has anyone tried 5 bay chapels with bulls eye window in gable end.

I tried your suggestion (learnt a new term as well "bulls eye window"  ) and it did bring up several buildings very similar to the mystery building, so thank you for that, your input is very much appreciated.

It is similar Annie and must say that is a great site that I have book marked for future reference.

Thanks very much for taking the time to post.

We must be getting warmer…..

Just look at this old photo from the Historical Society of Tell City, Indiana (settled by Swiss immigrants).  Very similar at the upper level.

Certainly is!   There appears to be quite  few buildings scattered everywhere with this common design.    I wonder if they are based on the work of one architect, the architectural style of an era or as a commonplace design for a particular religious faith.

Spent a couple of hours on this one today.  There appears to have been a lot of synagogues lost during the war and no photos to show which ones that I can find.

Can you get a close-up of the lamp bracket assembly over the central ground floor window? or any detail in the fanlights above the doors?
