| Significance | The history of this structure is associated with two congregations one of which (B'nai Israel) |
| still uses the building. The founding congregation, Chizuk Amuno, was one of the first |
| congregations of Conservative Judaism in America. It is Baltimore's oldest synagogue building |
| in continuous use. |
