Boise

Great time in Boise. Drove by this amazing oldest synagogue west of the Mississippi. Saw an amazing art exhibit at BAM (Boise Art Museum) artistic versions/interpretations of shoes....way cool. Boise is a nice town, who knew?

The synagogue's wood-shingled 1896 building blends two architecture styles popular with turn-of-the-century Jewish congregations. The exterior is in mainly in the popular Rundbogenstil style, though the tall windows flanking the large, rose window are in the form of Horseshoe arches. This Moorish Revival detail continues on the inside, where the Barrel-vaulted ceiling is supported by Horseshoe-archs. The architect described the building as designed in a modern Moorish style.[5]
