History
The congregation was formed in 1892 by the merger of two congregations of immigrants from Poland. It occupies a historic
oldest synagogues still standing in the United States, the second-oldest synagogue building in New York, and the oldest still in use in the state.[1]
Renovation of the upstairs, completed in 2006, included conservation of the
stained-glass windows, and stripping the interior of paint to expose the original wood. The outside was also landscaped, creating a garden for the neighborhood.[2]
