Sixth & I Historic Synagogue, Historic synagogue in Chinatown, Washington D.C., United States.
The Sixth & I Synagogue features a three-part facade with twin towers topped by domes and green copper spires at the corner of Sixth Street.
Built in 1908 for the Adas Israel Congregation, the building served as Turner Memorial A.M.E. Church from 1951 to 2002 before returning to its original purpose.
The synagogue functions as a non-denominational Jewish center that combines religious services with concerts, comedy shows, and educational programs throughout the year.
Located near multiple Metro stations, the synagogue offers guided tours and can accommodate over 3000 people during High Holiday services using nearby church spaces.
Three local real estate developers prevented the building from becoming a nightclub in 2002 and restored its interior based on 1949 wedding photographs.
