    A synagogue leases the property at 306-308 East 6th Street, 27 years after a Presbyterian church

    Before the present tenement was built in 1876, an earlier building stood on these two lots, which Stephen Whitney bought in 1825. Deeds show that a Presbyterian church leased the property starting in 1843, and a synagogue took a lease in 1870. In 1877 the two lots were sold to separate buyers, after the earlier building was replaced by the tenement.
