The synagogue, completed in c. 1852, consists of a small octagonal edifice on the top of a glass room built on the roof of the home of Philip Salomons on the Regency-era terrace house, that was built in the period between 1824 and 1830. Salomons and his family worshiped in the Ashkenazi rite.[2] The synagogue, now disused, is part of a Grade I listed consecutive row of terraced houses that were heritage-listed in 1950.[1]
