Blue Hill Avenue Synagogue - View this location on map Designed by architect Frederick Norcross and built in 1905, the Blue Hill Avenue Synagogue illustrates both the early Jewish presence in Roxbury and the changing demographics of the area. Financed by the Adath Jeshurun congregation, it was erected at a center of Jewish activity in early 20th century Boston. In 1967, with Roxbury no longer the focal point of the Jewish community, the temple was sold to Ecclesia Apostolic. The First Haitian Baptist Church purchased the Late Romanesque Revival building in 1978 and restored it to its present state.  397 Blue Hill Avenue, Boston, MA Historical
