Pulaski House, SCAD (Jewish Educational Alliance)

-A A +A
1915–1916, Hyman W. Witcover; 1988 renovation. 328 Barnard St.

The Jewish Educational Alliance (JEA) was organized in 1912 to promote education, physical fitness, and community life for the growing Jewish immigrant community. Contained in this rather plain four-story red brick building was a gymnasium, library, meeting rooms, banquet hall, kindergarten, and swimming pool. Yellow-brick details at the cornice create the illusion that the building has square corner towers. In 1955 the JEA moved to a new facility three miles to the south, and after serving a variety of functions this building was purchased in 1995 by SCAD, which converted it into an apartment-style dormitory.
