That's a GREAT question that I wouldn't have thought of until you brought it up.

It's about the right size & it's the exact location of the Circa 1912 photo.

Here it is when I took a photo of it in 2019 & the plaque with info.

I believe that’s the former Menorah Institute that was built next to the synagogue.
