Former First Hebrew Synagogue

Peekskill’s First Hebrew Congregation was organized in 1896 and this Synagogue structure was built in 1897 in a traditional style with Gothic window arches. A new multi-purpose facility and synagogue was opened on East Main Street in 1957, and this facility was closed. Jewish merchants operated many of the retail and manufacturing businesses throughout Peekskill. The building now houses the Islamic Center of Peekskill Masjid Al-Tawheed.
