The Ohev Sholem Synagogue is an historic former Jewish synagogue building, located at 109 Blinman Street in New London, Connecticut, in the United States.
Built in 1919-1920, the building is good example of the Classical Revival and Colonial Revival styles applied to synagogue architecture. The building served a religious function until 1974, when it was sold to a Latino community organization.
The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1995 for its architectural significance,[1][2] and as part of a multiple property listing of fifteen historic synagogues in Connecticut.[3]
