It was built in 1876 as an Episcopal church, on the site of a Sunday School building that was erected in 1859. In 1903, it was bought by the Shearith Israel congregation and converted to serve as a Jewish synagogue, which it was until 1958.[2] [3]
It was the first official Denver landmark established by ordnance of Denver's city council, on January 10, 1968.[4]
