In this aerial photo from the College of Charleston yearbook, Brith Sholom Synagogue, the structure with columns, is seen just south of 70 St. Philip, the residence of Professor Francis Holmes from the 1830s until after the Civil War. (70 St. Philip then served as a grocery shop and dwelling until the Brith Sholom Congregation acquired it in 1907 to provide a home for Rabbi Simonhoff and his family.) The tall house at lower right was 58 St. Philip (later replaced by the Jewish Community Center), with 62 St. Philip beyond it, obscuring the Daughters of Israel Hall (its one-story front porch is visible). Between the synagogue and hall buildings was a small single house at 66 St. Philip, which was razed in the 1940s.
