Notes

2022-02-04 - "Built in 1892 for one of three Jewish congregations in Rondout, the Emanuel Congregation was incorporated in 1854 by German Jews, most of whom came to the U.S. in 1848. It became a Reform congregation in the 1890s. In 1958, the congregation moved to a new synagogue on Albany Ave. In the mid-1990s, when the building became a restaurant and night club, a large circular stained glass window featuring a Star of David was moved to the new synagogue. Three metal Stars of David on the roofline and a large tower on the eastern end were removed earlier. Two tablets of the Law are still embedded in the brick wall." -- *A Walking Tour*, pamphlet, The RONDOUT National Historic District of Kingston -Paul R. Marchesano

2022-02-04 - The building was at some date (likely when the congregation movied in 1958 to Albany Avenue) occupied by First Emmanuel Church. Moved to St. Thomas Aquinas Roman Catholic Chapel at the University of Connecticut by the Organ Clearing House. -Paul R. Marchesano
