About this property

The Hebrew Congregation of Mountaindale Synagogue is an Orthodox Jewish synagogue located at 6 Spring Glen Road, in the hamlet of Mountaindale, Sullivan County, in the Catskills region of New York, in the United States. The small stucco building was built in 1917 and expanded slightly in the 1930s. The interior is notable for its heavy use of marbleizing and other decorative touches. A 2009 traffic accident and fire caused some damage to the roof. It is the only synagogue in the county with its own mikvah, or Jewish ritual bath. In 2001 it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) as a well-preserved example of an early 20th-century vernacular Catskill synagogue.
