The Vilna Shul<\/a> is an Orthodox synagogue on Phillips Street<\/a> on Boston<\/a>‘s Beacon Hill. It was built for a congregation of Eastern European immigrants, primarily from Vilnius, Lithuania<\/a>. The Anshei Vilner Congregation was founded in 1893 in the West End<\/a> and moved to the north slope of Beacon Hill in 1906. Vilna Shul<\/a>, designed by Boston architect David Kalman, was built in 1919. The Jewish community had mostly left the neighborhood by the 1980s and there was a debate<\/a> over the future use of the building. Vilna Shul<\/a>, the last remaining purpose-built immigrant era synagogue in downtown Boston, was restored<\/a> to become a Jewish cultural heritage center<\/a>.<\/p>\n
