Washington, District Of Columbia • District Of Columbia County
The historic Adas Israel Synagogue, built in 1876, is a modest brick structure originally located at 6th and G Streets NW in Washington D.C. Designed in a Romanesque Revival style, it was the city's first purpose-built synagogue. After being relocated, it now houses the Lillian & Albert Small Jewish Museum.
This property is profoundly significant as the first synagogue constructed in Washington D.C., marking a pivotal moment for the city's Jewish community and religious diversity. Its dedication was famously attended by President Ulysses S. Grant, symbolizing religious freedom and tolerance. It stands as a vital landmark of early Jewish life in the nation's capital.
