Dollis Hill NW2 6RJ

Stark, concrete synagogue and hall on the edge of Gladstone Park, designed for the United Synagogue. The buildings are constructed of prestressed concrete folded slabs and have hexagonal and shield-shaped windows, creating another fortress-like structure as at the Empire Pool. Unlike that building, Williams’ design here was not judged a success, with the architect forced to pay back some of the fee to his clients. Nevertheless it is now Grade II and still in use, now as a Jewish primary school.
