- Temple Adath Israel (Owensboro, Kentucky)
Temple Adath Israel, is a synagogue in Owensboro, Kentucky with a whimsically charming Moorish Revival facade.

These are surmounted with molded capitals and fanciful embellishments and the whole is topped by a whimsical row of four, small, onion-domed turrets. The synagogue was built in 1877.
