Description
English: B'nai Jeshurun Synagogue, 119 Elm Street, New York City, on the east side of Elm Street (today called Lafayette Street), between Canal Street and Howard Street[1][2][3]

Sources:

  1. ↑ Dunlap, David W. (2004) From Abyssinian to Zion: A Guide to Manhattan's Houses of Worship, Columbia University Press, p. 29, B'nai Jeshurun, Congregation: "They secured a sanctuary at 119 Elm Street [near the northeast corner at Canal Street] from the First Colored Presbyterian Church and reconsecrated it in 5587, or 1827."
  2. ↑ Greenleaf, Jonathan (1850) "Colored Presbyterian Church" in A History of the Churches, of All Denominations, in the City of New York (second ed.), E. French, pp. 122–24, 152–53. "[I]n 1824, a brick building, 62 feet long and 50 feet wide, was erected on Elm Street [Lafayette Street] near Canal Street … . [T]hey relinquished the house within a year, which was sold under foreclosure of mortgage, and is now the Jewish synagogue, 'B'nai Jeshurun.'"
  3. ↑ Plate 30 from: Perris, William (1853) Maps of the City of New-York, 3, William Perris. The congregation had moved out two years before this map was published, but the building at 119 Elm Street is still clearly drawn, by then planned to be part of the future New York and New Haven Railroad Freight Depot. Since then, the east side of the street has been demolished for widening. See (January 6, 1895). "The Future Elm Street". The New York Times.
