15-21 Eden Street, between Lombard and Baltimore Streets:
From 1848 until 1902 housed the Hebrew Friendship Congregation, Oheb Israel (AKA Fell's Point Hebrew Friendship Congregation or P'int Shul), which was originally on Canton Ave. (Fleet St.) from July 8, 1843.
In 1902 Aitz Chaim (founded 1887) (the Eden Street Shul) moved from 16-18 N. Exeter Street into 15-21 Eden Street. (Earl Pruce estimates this building was used by Aitz Chaim until approximately 1956.) 16-18 N. Exeter Street was then occupied by Anshe Niesen Nusach Ari Congregation. Before Aitz Chaim 16-18 was occupied by Chizuk Amuno Congregation, from 1871-1876. Aitz Chaim would merge in June, 1961, with Anshe Emunah, Liberty Jewish Center.
Rabbi Dr. Henry Hochheimer, Rabbi, Dr. M. Rosenstein, circa 1900-1901, Rabbi Benjamin Bleiberg, Rabbi Rivkin
15-21 Eden Street was razed on August 18, 1976.
