| Summary: | Built in 1846, this structure originally housed a congregation of Universalists. It was located on Jackson Street between St. Michael and St. Louis streets. Not popular in Mobile, membership in the Universalists declined and in 1853 the group finally sold the building to the Jewish congregation of Sha'arai Shomayim, and it became known as the Jackson Street Temple. The Jewish group worshiped there until 1907, when they moved to Government Street. They are now located on Springhill Avenue (the Springhill Avenue Temple). |
