Descrizione
The Great Synagogue was designed and built by Sydney architect Thomas Rowe in the 1870s. The current configuration of the interior is the result of alterations to the original design which were made in the early twentieth century. They were undertaken not for the stated reasons of creating more seats and improving the aesthetic appearnce, but rather for ideological factors due to the desire for acculturation and conformity with the majority Anglo-Celtic society
