Vilna Shul is completed.

Architect: Max Kalman. Also known as the Anshe Vilna Temple, it is designed in the Neo-Georgian style and located on the former site of the African Methodist Church at 14 – 18 Phillips Street. It is the first permanent home for the congregation of Lithuanian Jews that was founded in 1893 and met initially at 34 Norman Street and then at various places in the North End and on the north slope of Beacon Hill. The congregation, never able to employ a rabbi, dissolves in 1985. The building is purchased by Historic Boston Inc., in 1989 and is operated by the Boston Center for Jewish Heritage as a religious, historic and cultural center beginning in 1995.
