Histoire de Paris
Synagogue de la rue Buffault Ici s’élevait depuis 1857 une salle de danse ornée d’arcades mauresques et de mosaïques orientasantes. Remplacée en 1874 par le bal du Trianon d’Hiver, la salle fut démolie en 1876 pour la construction d’une nouvelle synagogue destinée aux Juifs de rite portugais. Depuis le XVIIIème siècle, ils avaient pu observer leur culte successivement rue Suger, en 1826 rue du Vertbois, en 1851 au 39, rue du Sentier et en 1859 au 23, rue Lamartine.

History of Paris
Buffault Street Synagogue Since 1857, a dance hall decorated with Moorish arcades and orientation mosaics has stood here. Replaced in 1874 by the Trianon d’Hiver ball, the hall was demolished in 1876 for the construction of a new synagogue intended for Jews of the Portuguese rite. Since the 18th century, they had been able to observe their worship successively on rue Suger, in 1826 rue du Vertbois, in 1851 at 39, rue du Sentier and in 1859 at 23, rue Lamartine.

Architect Stanislas Ferrarid took up the Romano-Byzantine style of the synagogue on Rue de la Victoire, in smaller proportions.
