Building History
This reformed congregation formed on 05/29/1899, and erected its first temple in 1907-1908. By the late 1950s efforts were underway to erect a new building on the corner of 16th Avenue and Peck Street, on the block just north of the first Temple De Hirsch. Seattle architect B. Marcus Priteca (1889-1971) collaborated with the firm of Detlie and Peck on this second place of worship, completing the temple in 1960. The sanctuary was named for the Alhadeff Family, significant philanthropists in the city.
Priteca had obtained commissions for at least two other synagogues in Seattle, WA, including 1930 and 1964 designs of the Sephardic Temple of Bikur Cholim.
