Temple Emanu-El (New York, 1868)

Built in 1868, Temple Emanu-El was a large New York synagogue that was later demolished.

In 1868, Emanu-El erected a new building for the first time, a Moorish Revival structure by Leopold Eidlitz, assisted by Henry Fernbach at 43rd Street and 5th Avenue after raising about $650,000. It was demolished in 1927.
