Congregation Adath Jeshurun, Former synagogue in Roxbury, Boston, Massachusetts.

The Romanesque Revival building at 397 Blue Hill Avenue features two prominent domes and exhibits architectural elements characteristic of early 1900s religious structures.

Established in 1894, the congregation commissioned architect Frederick Norcross to design their synagogue, which was completed in 1906 under contractor David Krokyn.

The structure represents the evolution of religious spaces in Boston, transitioning from a Jewish synagogue to the First Haitian Baptist Church in 1978.

The building maintains its religious function today, serving the local community through regular services and gatherings at its location on Blue Hill Avenue.

The National Register of Historic Places recognized this structure on November 12, 1999, documenting its role in Boston's religious architectural heritage.
