KAM Isaiah Israel is a Reform Jewish congregation and synagogue located at 1100 East Hyde Park Boulevard in the historic Kenwood neighborhood of Chicago, Illinois, in the United States.
A lot was leased at Clark and Quincy streets (now the site of the Kluczynski Federal Building), and construction of a small frame synagogue began.
After only two years, their land lease had expired, forcing the congregation to move the new building to Adams and Wells in 1853.
Built in the Byzantine Revival style, the minaret is not on top of the dome as it appears in this photo, but rather it is atop a tower that functions as a chimney, behind the building.
Built for the Isaiah Israel congregation in 1924, the structure was designed by Alfred S. Alschuler, who drew his influence from photographs of the second-century Severus synagogue unearthed at Tiberias, in Galilee.
