**Temple Aaron**, officially **Temple Aaron of Colorado**, is a [Reform Jewish](/source/Reform_Judaism) congregation and [synagogue](/source/Synagogue), located at 407 South Maple Street, in [Trinidad, Colorado](/source/Trinidad%2C_Colorado), in the United States.[2] Completed in 1889, the temple is among the [oldest synagogues](/source/Oldest_synagogues_in_the_United_States) in the state, and one of the oldest west of the [Mississippi River](/source/Mississippi_River). It was designated as a [National Historic Landmark](/source/National_Historic_Landmark) in 2023, for its distinctive Moorish architecture and for its role in the westward migration of Jews.[3]

## History

[German-Jewish](/source/History_of_the_Jews_in_Germany) settlers founded the congregation in 1883,[4] while the building was completed in 1889, designed by [Isaac Rapp](/source/Isaac_Hamilton_Rapp) in the exotic [Moorish Revival](/source/Moorish_Revival_architecture) style. A restoration was completed in 2006.[5] Architectural features of note include the onion dome at the top of its tower, a detail repeated in moulding at the roofline, and pointed-arch windows.

From its peak in 1917 with 250 regular members, the congregation slowly began to decline, until the synagogue ran out of endowed funding, and the congregation could not afford to maintain the building.[6] In 2016, the synagogue was listed for sale for $395,000[7] and added to Colorado's most endangered properties list the following year.[8] Over a number of years, funds were raised through a non-for-profit organisation that enabled the synagogue to be preserved.[9]

In 1973 the temple was assessed as a [contributing property](/source/Contributing_property) in the [National Register of Historic Places](/source/National_Register_of_Historic_Places)-listed [Corazón de Trinidad historic district](/source/Corazon_de_Trinidad).[10] On December 13, 2023, the [United States Department of the Interior](/source/United_States_Department_of_the_Interior) designated the temple a [National Historic Landmark](/source/National_Historic_Landmark).[11]
