Temple Beth-el dedicated this building
in 1904. In 1927, the Reform congregation moved to a nearby location. The
ark was bricked over, and this structure was converted into a bank. During
a recent demolition, the sealed ark was rediscovered, along with the original
temple's eternal light. Local myth boasts that its flame was still burning.
Congregation Beth-el uses this eternal light in their current sanctuary.
