Located in the Madison Park neighborhood of Baltimore, Maryland, the Baltimore Hebrew Congregation Synagogue is a well-executed Byzantine Revival structure originally built as an early place of worship for Baltimore's Hebrew Congregation. Designed by local architect Charles L. Carson, the building is constructed of ashlar gray granite from Port Deposit and features a prominent central dome forty feet in diameter, set upon a high octagonal drum pierced by rectangular stained-glass windows. Two tall octagonal towers flank the main entrance, characteristic of the Byzantine Revival style. Acquired by the Berea Temple Seventh-day Adventist Church in 1960 and converted to religious use, the synagogue was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976 and remains part of the Madison Park Historic District.
