Congregation Rodeph Shalom was
founded October 10, 1802. Designed in 1869 by the architecture firm Frazer,
Furness and Hewitt, the synagogue featured a Roman style plan. Much of the
Moorish decor adorned both the interior and exterior walls. Dedicated June
21, 1871, at Broad and Green streets, it was demolished in 1926 to make way
for the Broad Street subway line. Another beautiful synagogue was erected
on the same property in 1927. Currently, congregation Rodeph Shalom uses
both this metropolitan and a new suburban synagogue to accommodate its large
membership.
