24950 Lakeshore Blvd: Euclid Jewish Center & New Life Christian Church International

Sunday, April 12th, 1953, the cornerstone for the new Euclid Jewish Center was put down.

Prior to the erection of this building on Lakeshore blvd., members of the Euclid Jewish Center got together in a community center on Briardale. Today, this is the parking lot at Sticks Pub & Grille in the Briardale golf course.

Here's a picture fresh from the late 1950s:


In 1997, Ner Tamid in Euclid and Temple Israel in Mayfield Heights merged and became Temple Israel Ner Tamid. They did this, in part, as in 1996, they were lacking a permanent rabbi. They are still located at 1732 Lander Rd, Cleveland, OH 44124.

Today, the structure is home to New Life Christian Church International.

It looks incredibly similar still:


You'll notice that the decorative gray block work in the center of the photo used to be freestanding. A room was added and the blocks are incorporated into the new space. The brickwork match is very good, so much so that I didn't notice that they are slightly lighter until I realized it was added on.
