Hebrew Union Congregation

Organized 1880, succeeding a congregation formed 1871.  Once the state's largest Jewish temple.  Two of Greenville's early mayors, the first merchant, public officials, leaders in literature, education, business, law, and civic affairs worshiped here.  Replacing a wooden temple built 1882, the present temple was built in 1906. ~ text of marker
