Designed by the [[Charleston, West Virginia|Charleston]] architectural firm of [[Meanor & Handloser]] in an [[Eclecticism in architecture|eclectic]], [[Historicism (art)|historicizing]] style that combined [[Romanesque Revival architecture|Neo-Romanesque]] and [[Neo-Byzantine architecture|Neo-Byzantine]] features, it was built in 1925 for Congregation Ohev Shalom, which had formed in 1887. In 1978 B'Nai Sholom Congregation was formed by the merger of Ohev Shalom and B’nai Israel, an [[Orthodox Judaism|Orthodox]] synagogue which had been formed in 1910. On March 17, 1994, the building was added to the [[National Register of Historic Places]]. B'Nai Sholom continues today as an active congregation affiliated with both the [[Reform Judaism|Reform]] and [[Conservative Judaism|Conservative]] [[Jewish denominations|stream]]s of Judaism.<ref name="nris"/><ref>[http://www.wv-bnaisholom.org/ B'Nai Sholom Congregation website]</ref><ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.wv-bnaisholom.org/aboutus/history/ |title=B'Nai Sholom Congregation: History |access-date=June 2, 2011 |archive-date=August 10, 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110810003254/http://www.wv-bnaisholom.org/aboutus/history/ |url-status=dead }}</ref>
