Ramadan Mubarak! In the interest of genealogy, I thought I would share photos of Toledo OH's oldest mosque in continuous use. The top photo comes from the digital photo archives of the www.toledolibrary.com. Circa 1950, this was the Syrian Mosque at 722 E. Bancroft Ave. built in the Middle Eastern Modern Style. The community was first organized in 1938. The building was used until a bigger one was built in Perrysburg starting in 1983. The building was used by other businesses and then sat empty until 2010. The building was turned back into a mosque by the Toledo Masjid of Al-Islam (www.toledomasjid.com). Enjoy the beautiful artwork on the windows.
