Congregation Beth Emeth

Congregation Beth Emeth

Congregation Beth Emeth (House of Truth) is a synagogue in Albany, New York.

History

The congregation was formed in 1885 with the merger of a "dwindling" orthodox congregation, Anshe Emeth (People of Truth) and a "growing" Reform Congregation, Beth El (House of God.)[1]

Architecture

The congregation's 1887 building, located at Lancaster and South Swan Streets in Albany, is considered to be one of the few surviving 19th-century synagogues in the United States.[2] The architect was Adolph Fleischman, with Isaac Perry. [3] The building is in Richardson Romanesque style. As of 1993 it was the home of the Wilborn Temple First Church of God in Christ. [3]

The congregation's 1957 building was designed by Percival Goodman. [2][3]
