Temple Aaron
Temple Aaron is a synagogue in Trinidad, Colorado.[1] The temple is located at 407 South Maple Street. It is among the oldest synagogues in the state.
History[]
The congregation was founded in 1883,[2] while the building itself was completed in 1889 by German-Jewish settlers, and underwent a restoration in 2006.[3]
Isaac Rapp designed the building, which is an example of exotic revival style architecture. The temple is a contributing property in the Corazón de Trinidad historic district, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. [4]
