In 1946 Meir Abdullah Batson bought over 0.5 hectares (1.2 acres) of land near the University of Tehran, in Ghods Street.

He separated a piece of land of over 865 square metres (9,310 sq ft) and turned it into a synagogue, with the help of Saleh and Davood Mashi, Heskel Haim, and others.

The synagogue was designed in the Pahlavi architectural style, and it was fitted with the most advanced cooling system of the time.

[3][4] A fundraising campaign organised by the Babylonian Jewish Center of New York enabled repairs and upkeep of the synagogues.

[1] Students from religious minority families in Iran attended the school in the 1970s, including Christian, Baha'i, and Zoroastrian.
