Moorish Door

On our way tto the anual Linnaean Society of NY dinner I photgraphed the Fifth Avenue Synagogue’s Moorish style door (1927) at 50 East 87th Street, in Manhattan.

Beautifully done, Sherry. I really miss things like this. I lived in NYC for many years – in Manhattan, Brooklyn, Riverdale and Staten Island! There are many things about NY that I won’t find anywhere else.

In the first photo I was surprised that the 2 pillars were different … then in the second photo I recognized the symmetry of the double pairs.

It’s so strikingly ornate! Very impressive!!

Beautiful doorway. There are similar decorations at the Alhambra in Granada in Spain, a Moorish palace and gardens.

  It seems a little strange that German Jews approved that design.

Beautiful!! I love the intricate patterns on the door columns. Are they supposed to be its Mezuzah? Good eye, Sherry! Love, Cathy

  Not sure what the designs represent. There used to be more on the walls but they eroded off.
