FRANK LLOYD WRIGHT DESIGN
Temple Named a Historic Landmark
The only synagogue designed by Frank Lloyd Wright has been designated a National Historic Landmark.
Beth Sholom, a soaring glass-and-concrete temple just outside Philadelphia, began welcoming worshipers nearly 50 years ago. On Sunday, the National Park Service recognized it as one of the architect's greatest achievements.
The towering, flat-topped spire is constructed out of concrete, steel, aluminum and glass.
After a 70-year, 1,000-project career, Wright died in 1959, six months before Beth Sholom was first used.
The designation for the synagogue is part of the congregation's plan to make it a semipublic site, one whose costly upkeep can be supported in part by tours, government funding, philanthropy and a museum shop.
