The Beth Shalom Synagogue was a low standing building in Sandy Hill, located at the corner of Chapel St. and Rideau St., that was demolished along with an adjacent community centre to make room for a high-rise multi-unit residential building.
Much of the building was clad in yellow brick and limestone panels, separated vertically by ribbon windows. Surrounding the entry from Chapel St. were vertically oriented articulated red granite panels, which followed the same spacing as adjacent windows. The entry sequence into the building included passage under a low standing flat canopy.
