Statement of Significance

The former synagogue at 32 Lord Street, Brunswick, is of local historical and architectural significance. Historically, its significance derives from its connection with the Brunswick Jewish Community, which played an important part in the clothing and associated industries from the 1920s. It was home to one of only two Jewish congregations north of the Yarra. Architecturally, the building is a highly unusual composition with its dominating classical portico and keyhole arch window and door openings.
