National Historical Landmark- Beth Sholom Synagogue

Beth Sholom Synagogue is nationally significant as one of Frank Lloyd Wright's most important commissions during his career.

Constructed between 1954 and 1959, the building is Wright's only synagogue, among a relatively small number of religious commissions, stemming from the fruitful collaboration between the famous architect and the congregation's rabbi, Mortimer J. Cohen.

Beth Sholom Synagogue is one of a group of sixteen Wright buildings singled out in 1959 by the American Institute of Architects and the National Trust for Historic Preservation as his most important to the nation...[and] which ought to be preserved in their original form.
