Thank you for your interest in the windows and other historic elements salvaged from Agudas Achim Synagogue, located in Chicago's Uptown neighborhood. Agudas Achim was designed by the architectural firm of Dubin & Eisenberg and constructed in 1922.

Preservation Chicago worked closely with developer Cedar Street Companies to remove historic elements from the sanctuary prior to redevelopment. Now, we are looking for synagogues and institutions looking to provide a new home to these elements. The elements will be donated by Alex Samoylovich, in honor of the his co-founder in Cedar Street the late Jay Michael and Boris Samoylovich, with a small donation to Preservation Chicago to cover the cost of removal.
