Founded in 1874 with 22 members, the congregation dedicated its first synagogue building at the corner of 19th and Curtis Streets on September 28, 1875. In 1882, Emanuel moved to a new facility at 24 Curtis Street, which was gutted by fire in 1897. The congregation rebuilt at 1595 Pearl Street and moved in January of 1899.
