Congregation Sherith Israel, a national landmark designed by Albert Pissis and constructed in 1904, survived the Great Earthquake and Fire of 1906 and served as the Hall of Justice following the collapse of San Francisco City Hall. Its recent preservation, including the elaborate interior decorative painting, renowned stained glass and classical Colusa sandstone exterior, required a unique structural approach. Wiss, Janney, Elstner Associates, Inc. collaborated with ELS Architecture and Urban Design and Plant Construction Company, L.P. to execute the unconventional solutions. The team will lead this tour along with Sherith Israel’s Rabbi Raphael.
