NYFE Summary
Immigrants from Bialystok organized relief for their former home after World War I. Their association later focused on New York's Jewish community and established a home for older people. The home closed in 2011.
Patterned yellow brick and setbacks rise above an elaborate entrance. Round panels represent the twelve tribes of Israel, while the English lettering of Bialystoker takes forms from Hebrew script.
