Wikipedia description:

Beth Hamedrash Hagodol Synagogue is an historic former Orthodox Jewish congregation and synagogue, located at 370 Garden Street, Hartford, Connecticut, in the United States. Founded in 1905, the congregation built the Romanesque Revival temple on Garden Street in 1921–22. The congregation merged with the Ateres Kneset Israel congregation in 1962 to form the United Synagogue of Greater Hartford, and moved to new quarters in West Hartford. The congregation's building was vacated and during the 1980s converted into a Christian church, called the Greater Refuge Church of Christ. This former synagogue, now church, was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1995 as part of a multiple property listing of fifteen historic synagogues in Connecticut.
