Built in 1927 and serving as the epicenter of Kensington’s Jewish community, Kiever Synagogue was the first synagogue in the Kensington Market area with a congregation dating back to 1912.
Before the Kiever Synagogue was built, this plot was the location of Bellevue, the Denison family home, built by George Taylor Denison I in 1815 and demolished in 1889.
