Art Historian Seeks Information ricia Pongracz, an art historian who is researching the works that Tiffany Studios created for American synagogues, is currently working on a project at The Euclid Avenue Temple, one of the finest and most complete Tiffany Studios’ Judaic commissions. This was the former Anshe Chesed Synagogue, which is now Fairmount Temple. When talking with Pongracz, she told us that she is looking for information related to the Euclid Avenue Temple from 1910 up to the temple’s move in the 1950s. T Welcome Alicia Fanning, MD. Providing world class breast surgical care at Hillcrest Hospital When talking with Pongracz, she told us that she is looking for information related to the Euclid Avenue Temple from 1910 up to the temple’s move in the 1950s. “I am interested in materials related to the temple’s dedication in 1912; blue prints or architectural drawings for the building; any drawings for the windows; and interior photographs showing the windows, including wedding photos, confirmation photos, etc.” Pongracz is also interested in locating the temple’s ark lamps. She said, “These were about three-to-four feet tall and cast in bronze. Naturally, they flanked the ark.” Any information from the community will be appreciated. Pongracz is in the process of studying pertinent information to see if it could help her tell the story of this very rich commission. She can be reached at tpongracz01@gmail.com or 973.255.6270.
