Located in the Boyle Heights section of Los Angeles, the Breed Street Shul is a Byzantine Revival synagogue designed by architect Abram M. Edelman. Built in 1915, it served as Congregation Talmud Torah of Los Angeles and held the distinction of being the largest Orthodox synagogue west of Chicago until 1951. The building's ornate Byzantine Revival style, combined with its historical significance as a center of Jewish life in early twentieth-century Los Angeles, earned it recognition as both a National Register of Historic Places listing and a Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument.
