English: Odessa Brown Neighborhood Health Center, formerly Herzl Congregation Synagogue, 172 20th Avenue, Seattle, Washington, USA. Built 1924–1925, sold to the city in 1970 for use as a clinic.
The associated congregation was Orthodox at the time the synagogue was built, but became Seattle's first Conservative congregation in 1929. The transition to a clinic occurred against the background of many Jews leaving central Seattle for Mercer Island, the neighborhood becoming increasingly African American, and the Civil Rights movement and Model Cities program.
