In 2002, the synagogue was added to the National Register of Historic Places,[1] after a multi-year effort by Bernard Rosenberg, the descendant of a founding member.
The Greek Revival style of the early 19th Century with its signature Eave Return was reminiscent of Dutch gable fronted architecture.
Conflating this belief, in 1921 all Real Estate Deeds and Land Parcel Tax Maps were transferred from the numerous Offices of Town Clerks and centralized in one Statewide System.
To the west is the park created by Julius Fleischmann, son of Charles, after whom the village, originally called Griffin Corner, were renamed.
As a consequence of being on the creek's flood plain, the synagogue's lot is flat and grassy, set off by ornamental hedges.
Along the south (front) and side elevations the bays are divided by flat pilasters with Doric capitals supporting an architrave with wide frieze.
[2] A set of concrete steps leads up to the main entrance, double wooden doors surrounded by an enframement in which pilasters on the side support a large pointed arch with iridescent glass panels.
Inside, a narrow vestibule, with a kitchen on the side, leads to another set of double doors which open onto the community room.
Many came to farm but soon found that the hotel business was as lucrative, if not more, with many of their urban co-religionists wanting a mountain vacation at resorts that welcomed them and accommodated their dietary obligations.
In 1918, six of these farmers in the Fleischmanns area who had been meeting in each other's homes for informal religious study formally incorporated as Congregation Bnai Israel.
[2] Local builders Crosby and Kelly, who had also built the village's Skene Memorial Library two decades earlier, did the construction.
The gable roofs and combination of Gothic and classical detailing are features borrowed from the Protestant churches abundant in the region.
