A fun LES #thenandnow (ummm ... more like #thenandsomewhatrecently)⠀ .⠀ Located at 54 Canal Street, this 12-story classical-style bank (seen here at center) was built by architects Rouse & Goldstone for Sender Jarmulowsky in 1912. Jarmulowsky established his banking business on the Lower East Side in 1873 and was operating at this location by 1878. Here, recent immigrants could set up bank accounts, send remittances, and buy steerage tickets for their European relatives – in Yiddish. The bank quickly became a household name among Jews on both sides of the ocean.⠀ .⠀ According to legend, Jarmulowsky added the capital to the top of the building so that it would be the tallest in the neighborhood. His original plan had not included this detail, but the Forward Building down the street on East Broadway went up simultaneously and was slightly taller than his bank prompting the architectural change. The bank become a testament to Jarmulowsky’s success as a businessman and reflected his prominence in the Jewish community of the Lower East Side.⠀ .⠀ Jarmulowsky died in 1912 shortly after the bank was completed, and his sons took over the business. unfortunately, they lacked their father’s business acumen and mismanaged the business. In 1914, at the start of World War I, the bank closed as many depositors made “runs” on the bank to get money to help their families in Europe. According to the New York Times, 2,000 people demonstrated in front of the bank. 500 people stormed the house where son Meyer Jarmulowsky lived, forcing him to escape across tenement rooftops. Jarmulowsky’s sons were indicted for banking fraud and the bank closed.⠀ .⠀ The State of New York took over the bank in May 1917 and auctioned it off.⠀ .⠀ In 2009, Jarmulowsky’s Bank building was designated a landmark by the Landmarks Preservation Commission. This 2018 photo shows the tower at the top in process, it has since been completed!

#TeamRhythmandPower taking a tap dance research trip to the former Five Points and Lower East Side led us to take a break here...The Museum at Eldridge Street which is a synagogue originally built in 1887.

8.18.21 Lunchtime drawing: This flatiron building on Eldridge and Division has always been a favorite! A super fast sketch again no time to overthink, using the platform on my bike as an easel. The Museum at Eldridge Street making a cameo too.

The photos don't quite do the beautifully restored 1887 Eldridge Street Synagogue justice. It is definitely worth going to the Museum at Eldridge Street to see the space in person and learn about it's history.

1.27.21 Lunchtime drawing: Revisiting the Museum at Eldridge Street today with watercolor on the way to school pickup, giving me ten minutes to finish. About 5 years ago I was invited by the museum to do a series of sketches inside, I love this synagogue from 1887!

[dtjoyce]

Construction of the Eldridge Street Synagogue began in 1886 and was completed about a year later in 1887 for about $92,000. As the Jewish population of the Lower East Side dwindled, so did the synagogue’s fortunes, and the upper sanctuary was closed, locked, and all but abandoned in the 1950s. Preservationists began restoring the building’s Moorish Revival art and architecture in 1986, a progress that took 20 years and $20 million. #52HOWin52weeks #NYC #Manhattan #LowerEastSide #LowerEastSideNYC #LES #LESNYC #EldridgeStreet #EldridgeStreetSynagogue #EldridgeStreetmuseum #MuseumatEldridgeStreet #synagogue #Jewishsynagogue #Jewish #Judaism #architecture #religion #historicarchitecture #MoorishRevival #🕍 #✡️ (at Museum at Eldridge Street) https://www.instagram.com/p/BnGi_nUg1dw/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=ruaatwuocj2d

In its heyday as an Orthodox synagogue, men and women sat in separate sections during worship services. Men used the main level while women used the balcony, accessed by this stairway. #52HOWin52weeks #NYC #Manhattan #LowerEastSide #LowerEastSideNYC #LES #LESNYC #EldridgeStreet #EldridgeStreetSynagogue #EldridgeStreetmuseum #MuseumatEldridgeStreet #synagogue #Jewishsynagogue #Jewish #Judaism #architecture #religion #historicarchitecture #MoorishRevival #🕍 #✡️ (at Museum at Eldridge Street) https://www.instagram.com/p/BnGbW76AGn7/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=cvr25g23n0mv

After moving earlier this summer, I’m still catching up on my project to visit 52 houses of worship in 2018. This is the first synagogue I have visited in this project, though I first visited it several years ago. But it is one of those places that stands out in your memory — a place you know you’ll return to. #52HOWin52weeks #NYC #Manhattan #LowerEastSide #LowerEastSideNYC #LES #LESNYC #EldridgeStreet #EldridgeStreetsynagogue #EldridgeStreetmuseum #MuseumatEldridgeStreet #synagogue #Jewishsynagogue #Jewish #Judaism #architecture #religion #historicarchitecture #MoorishRevival #🕍 #✡️ (at Museum at Eldridge Street) https://www.instagram.com/p/BnFSaGRAXJF/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1iwbjw03r4045
