Summary[edit]

Description
English: The building at 345 Tacoma Avenue in Buffalo, New York, built in 1951 in a Modernist style with design elements vaguely suggestive of Italian Romanesque (round-arched windows on the side elevations, a gabled parapet crowning the broadly proportioned façade), has housed two different religious congregations over the course of its existence: first it was the Ahavas Achim Lubavitz Synagogue, a Hasidic shul formed from the merger of the Anshe Lubavitz congregation on Pratt Street with the Ahavas Achim temple on Fillmore Avenue; the congregation changed its name to B'nai Shalom in 1987, moved to the suburb of Amherst two years later, and finally in 2017 merged into the larger Temple Beth Tzedek. Then came the Evangelical Christian Church of Buffalo, a Pentecostal congregation comprising mainly newly landed refugees from Russia, Belarus, Ukraine, and other regions of the former Soviet Union; they moved in to the building in 2002 and left in 2019 for a new location in North Tonawanda. The building is now undergoing redevelopment as a residence for foreign students at the University at Buffalo Medical School.
