"The building is a fine specimen of Moresque design, its thoroughly Oriental style being especially exemplified in the interior, with its tiers of columns decorated with Saracenic capitals, supporting the gallery, clear-story, and lofty vaulted roof. The ark, in which are placed the sacred scrolls of the law, is situated at the southeast end of the building, looking toward Jerusalem, and is covered by a heavy curtain, embroidered with gold."
