Summary[edit]
| Description | 245 East 17th Street between Second and Third Avenues in the Stuyvesant Square neighborhood of Manhattan, New York City, was built in 1883, and designed by noted architect Richard Morris Hunt in a modified French Renaissance style as a home for Sidney Webster, a lawyer who was private secretary to President Franklin Pierce, and son-in-law to U.S. Senator Hamilton Fish. It is the only architect-designed private residence in the Stuyvesant Square area. The house was owned for a time by the nearby Beth Israel Medical Center, but is now owned by the East End Temple, Congregation El Elmet (God of Truth), a Reform congregation which was founded in 1948. The redesign of the house into a synagogue was done by BKSK Architects and LWC Designs. The redesign was completed in 2004, and received the 2005 American Institute of Architects (AIA) Honor Award. The building is located within the Stuyvesant Square Historic District.
