Central Synagogue (formerly Congregation Ahawath Chesed Shaar Hashomayim; s a Reform Jewish congregation in New York City. Central Synagogue has hosted various activities and programs over the years, and it contains a collection of Jewish artifacts. A community house, across 55th Street, hosts the synagogue's religious school and numerous groups. Designed by Henry Fernbach in the Moorish Revival style, the building is a New York City designated landmark and a National Historic Landmark. The facade is made of brownstone with light-stone trim and includes stained glass windows and a geometric rose window; it is topped by octagonal towers. A vestibule leads to the synagogue's sanctuary—a two-level space, arranged similarly to a Gothic church—and there are various rooms in the basement. The synagogue building at 652 Lexington Avenue was designed by Henry Fernbach.[65][293] It is the only remaining synagogue building designed by Fernbach, who also designed commercial buildings in Manhattan, as well as institutional buildings such as the German Savings Bank, Harmonie Club, Hebrew Orphan Asylum of New York, and Staats-Zeitung Building.[294] The structure incorporates a mixture of Egyptian, Moorish, and Spanish architectural features, an allusion to the history of Jews in Muslim countries.[13][64] An Israelite article from 1870 described the building as a "Moorish Byzantic" structure;[294][295] Central was one of several synagogues in the U.S. designed in such a style during the 1860s and 1870s.[295] The New York Times cites the building as the state's oldest synagogue in continuous operation,[13] and Central has been continuously used by a congregation for longer than any other synagogue in New York City.[2][296][297] Central is also Midtown Manhattan's only remaining 19th-century synagogue[298] and one of the oldest existing synagogue buildings in the United States.[299]
