In 1907, B'nai Zion bought this wood-frame home-office from Dr. John B. H. Maloney and converted it into a synagogue. Founded in 1887, B'nai Zion was an amalgamation of several small congregations. Until it bought this building, the congregation met above Louis Fine's store. The congregation remained on Simonton Street until 1969 when the current synagogue was built at 750 United Street.
