Eldridge Street Synagogue

Religious and Sacred Buildings

The Eldridge Street Synagogue stands at 12-16 Eldridge Street on Manhattan Lower East Side in New York City, dedicated in 1887 to a design by the German-born brothers Peter and Francis William Herter in a Moorish Revival style with Gothic Revival and Romanesque Revival elements. It was among the first synagogues built in the United States by Eastern European Jewish immigrants. Designated a National Historic Landmark in 1996, it underwent a twenty million dollar restoration completed in 2007 and today combines an active Orthodox congregation with the Museum at Eldridge Street.

Synagogue, Concepts

Entity-backed identity for the building-type enum value this building already carries, resolved to an architecture concept by an explicit value-to-entity map (phase 3 bucket conversion, docs\design_entity_backed_browse_buckets_20260928.md). The building-type fact itself stays on the building unchanged.
