    3. Marie asked about the Eldridge Street Church at 89-93 Rivington Street. http://www.eldridgestreet.org/museum-hours-admission-and-more/ What's ironic is that that this old Manhattan church was built for Presbyterians to convert Jewish residents, but it backfired! As history unraveled, it became the heart of Jewish life on the Lower East Side. In 1857, it was known as "First German Presbyterian Church" and "German Evangelical Church of NYC." Then, in 1864, it housed an Orthodox German-Jewish congregation. By 1890, it was known as the Allen Street Memorial Church (Methodist). Finally, in 1902, it was the First Roumanian-American Congregation (Jewish), until the building collapsed in January 2006.
