    The Jefferson Playhouse and Ruth Lester House (formerly the Hebrew Sinai Synagogue) was built around 1860 as a private residence and after several changes in ownership, it was purchased in 1869 for the Sisters of Charity for a convent, hospital and school called St. Mary's.

    The Hebrew Sinai Congregation took over in 1875 and built the adjoining building, now called Jefferson Playhouse, as their synagogue. Although basically unchanged, this structure is now used each Pilgrimage to present a play 'The Diamond Bessie Murder Trial'.
