This blue commemorative plaque records: House of Faith. This house reflects the ever changing community of Chapeltown. Built soon after 1860 for residents of the affluent middle class suburb, in 1924 it became a Spanish and Portuguese Synagogue, and from 1952 to 1960 the Sinai Reform Synagogue. From 1961 to 1974, as the Jinnah Mosque, it was the first mosque in Leeds. Recorded plaque organisation: Leeds Civic Trust.
This building has served diverse religious communities in Chapeltown, Leeds, transitioning from a church to a synagogue and finally becoming the city's first mosque, reflecting the area’s evolving demographics and cultural landscape.
