Temple Beth El, Rabbi Scott Levi Glass
Education & Program Center Courtyard Building, 404 North Tioga Street

When Temple Beth El needed more room for congregation activities, it acquired the property next door at 404 North Tioga Street for use as an education and program center. Connecting the residential building to the stylistically different temple presented a challenge, but the design resulted in a graceful building that links the two. The small building and porch echo proportions, forms, and detailing of the former residence while harmonizing with the synagogue and creating a small welcoming entry courtyard which is enhanced with paving of historic State Street bricks.
