Hartford Connecticut – Congregation Ados Israel Synagogue – 215 Pear Street – Orthodox Oldest
The former Ados Israel synagogue, 215 Pearl Street, Hartford, Connecticut. Designed by Milton E. Haymon, this Georgian Revival structure was erected in 1924 for the First Unitarian Church. In 1962 the Unitarians sold the building and moved. Congregation Ados Israel, Hartford’s oldest Orthodox Jewish congregation, was first organized by Eastern European Jews in 1872. In 1898 the Congregation built a synagogue on Market Street. This architecturally impressive building was demolished in 1963 to make way for Constitution Plaza. Ados Israel then moved to the former Unitarian building on Pearl Street. Ados Israel was Hartford’s last synagogue when it closed in 1986. 294
