Where Am I? No. 193 - Building

[John915]

Good evening,

There are a number of architectural differences between the two buildings. I don't think they are connected in any way.

I think the small circular "window" may be a clock but can't be sure.

I thought at first Masonic but would expect to see some symbols on the front to confirm it.

Hello everyone.
I've tried looking for Methodist, Baptist, Wesleyan chapels /churches to no avail yet even thought Work house as it looks a sad place and because of the 2 doors men women but nothing again yet.  The one search I have been having some success with is Quaker meeting houses / schools found several close looking but none with the second building near by.

Some had the distinctive brick work around the top of the roof  [is there a name for that?]as well as the round window above.
I though our windows were rather elaborate to so maybe this is an important building where ever it is.

Also just to say I am still looking for some of our elusive hunts so you never know .

Thought this might be the front if the picture was of the back(!),but windows have different aspect ratio,I think.

I remain convinced its a synagogue, with the circular window typically showing a Star of David or a six/eight petal motif.

As for the antique centre, nightclub etc (this isn't our building btw, but...)

I'm with you on that one Barbara, the closest matches I've found so far have been synagogues 

What a shocking mess they've made of the synagogue you posted!

Interesting to read the suggestions about the reasons for the two doorways. Thanks for those.

I think it's a Synagogue too...but do you think I can find it?...not on your life
I've seen some that are quite similar but no luck so far

A couple of close ups, but I don't think they help much.
