Congregation Shearith Israel New Building, New York, New York

After completing the rst phase of restoration

of Congregation Shearith Israel, an 1897 Beaux
Arts synagogue on the Upper West Side over-
looking Central Park, STA is currently involved
in the design of a new building on the adjacent
vacant lot. The proposed structure will incorpo-
rate up to 10 additional market-rate residential
oors above a new 4-story community house
for the oldest Jewish congregation in the United
States. The building will provide handicapped
access to all levels of the synagogue through
a new entrance on 70th Street. In conjunction
with Platt Byard Dovell White Architects, STA
is working closely with the New York City
Landmarks Preservation Commission to ensure
that the new building will be consistent with the
historic fabric of the neighboring community.
The approval process also involves a series of
presentations to community and arts organiza-
Central Park West elevation tions and government ofcials.
