Temple Emanu-El, Jewish temple in Helena, Montana, United States.
Temple Emanu-El features Romanesque Revival architecture with granite walls, porphyry details, and sandstone elements, including keyhole windows and stained glass panels.
Constructed in 1891, the building stands as the first Jewish synagogue established between St. Paul, Minnesota, and Portland, Oregon, with Governor J.K. Toole laying the cornerstone.
The synagogue represents the significant presence of German Jewish immigrants who established businesses and contributed to Helena's economic development during the Montana Gold Rush.
After serving multiple purposes through decades, including state offices and Catholic Diocese headquarters, the building returned to Jewish ownership in August 2022.
The Hebrew date 5651 remains carved on the cornerstone, while the original structure featured two distinctive onion-style domes atop towers flanking the entrance.
