TEMPLE EMANUEL |
| Description of Significance |
TEMPLE EMANUEL WAS DESIGNED BY PONCA CITY ARCHITECT G. HAROLD KANADY AND WAS CONSTRUCTED IN 1964. THE TEMPLE REPRESENTED THE STRUCTURAL CENTER OF WORSHIP FOR A SMALL, BUT THRIVING, JEWISH COMMUNITY IN PONCA CITY AND THE SURROUNDING AREA BY THE MID-TWENTIETH CENTURY. MINIMAL AND SIMPLE IN ITS DESIGN, TEMPLE EMANUEL HAS BECOME A LOCAL LANDMARK IN LARGE PART DUE TO THE TWO-STORY-TALL PARABOLIC BRICK STRUCTURE SITUATED AT ITS CENTER, WHICH INDICATES THE LOCATION OF THE TEMPLE SANCTUARY. BECAUSE IT IS AN OUTSTANDING LOCAL EXAMPLE OF THE MODERN MOVEMENT STYLE, THIS RELIGIOUS FACILITY IS ELIGIBLE FOR LISTING IN THE NATIONAL REGISTER OF HISTORIC PLACES UNDER CRITERION C. CRITERIA CONSIDERATION A IS APPLICABLE AS THIS IS A RELIGIOUS INSTITUTION. NATIONAL REGISTER LISTED 15 JULY 2019. |
