Almas Temple

The Almas Temple is a building facing Franklin Square at 1315 K St NW in Washington, DC. It was designed in the Moorish Revival style. It was constructed in 1929 by Allen H. Potts, a member of the temple.[1]

Five stories tall, it was restored and relocated to its current location in 1987 to make way for a new office complex.[2] 38°54′11″N 77°01′50″W / 38.902940°N 77.03051°W / 38.902940; -77.03051
