1800–04 Spruce St. (OP)
Temple Beth-Zion Beth-Israel Synagogue, formerly
Church of the Covenant

c. 1895, Thomas Preston
Lonsdale; 1954, interior remodeled, Beryl Price

The church was built to house a new Methodist congregation, the Church of the Covenant. Typical Gothic Revival forms are the massive buttresses along the 18th St. flank and the pointed-arch windows in the aisles and clerestory. In 1954, Beryl Price remodeled the church to serve a recently formed Jewish congregation. The renovation included the installation of new, vividly colored stained-glass windows representing important aspects of Jewish history and worship.
