Gomez House
        The Gomez Mill House was the home of pioneers, patriots, gentleman farmers, artists, writers, statesmen, craftsmen and preservationists for over 283 years. The house has been continually occupied since being built as a trading post by a Sephardic Jew searching for a life of freedom in the new world in 1714 and is therefore the oldest extant Jewish residence in North America. And, in this highly historic Hudson Valley of New York, the oldest house on the historic register in Orange County.

The Jewish Historical Society of South Carolina' s Statewide Cemetery Survey Project
        Early in 2004, the Jewish Historical Society of South Carolina embarked on a survey of burial places of South Carolina Jews. The goal of the project is to learn, who is buried in each cemetery, collect biographical information on those individuals, and organize and archive the findings so they can be readily accessed by descendents, historians, and researchers. More information on project is available in The Jewish Historical society of South Caroline Newsletter.(PDF file)

Virtual Restoration of Small-town Synagogues in Texas
        This site provides multiple views of computer generated models of Texas synagogues created by Robert Davis, the site's founder. Some of the sites are navigable 3-D models and at least one has a sound clip. The computer images give a good idea of the dimensions and massing of the buildings and their spatial arrangements, but one loses a great amount of detail. For example, the model of the "clapboard-Moorish" synagogue of Corsicana looks much more solid and substantial than the real thing. Some of the detail, especially exterior siding, is visible in photos which are also posted. Information on Texas Jewish cemeteries is also provided at the site, including for many, lists of those buried. Despite shortcomings, this is most advanced and innovative website for synagogue architecture, and its a good introduction to vernacular American synagogue styles.
