abstract
  • Beth Sholom Congregation is a Conservative synagogue located in the Philadelphia suburb of Elkins Park. Its building is the only synagogue designed by famed architect, Frank Lloyd Wright. Beth Sholom is Hebrew for House of Peace. The building is a startling, translucent, modernist evocation of a Mayan temple, transposed to a Philadelphia suburb by Frank Lloyd Wright, one of the few architects to work in the Mayan Revival architecture style. In 2007, the building was named a National Historic Landmark: "Beth Sholom Synagogue...is a new National Historic Landmark because of its significance in the history of American architecture. The glazed glass pyramidal tower, built in the 1950s, reflects two dominant metaphors — the tent and the mountain — to convey the sense of a collective sacredness. It is nationally significant as one of Wright's most important commissions during his long and productive career."
