Geelong Synagogue, Heritage synagogue in Greater Geelong, Australia.

The Geelong Synagogue presents stucco rendered brick walls with classical revival elements, featuring arched windows and a prominent slate roof structure.

Built in 1861 by Jones and Halpin following John Young's design, this religious building replaced a wooden structure from 1854 at McKillop Street.

The synagogue reflects the contributions of Jewish settlers in Victoria, including Jonas Felix Levien, the first Jewish child born in this Australian state.

Located at the intersection of McKillop and Yarra Streets, the building now functions as office space while maintaining its architectural character.

The building exhibits distinctive Italianate architectural elements with decorated piers supporting a broken pediment and circular arches framed by Corinthian pilasters.
