Sixth and I is a Jewish cultural center, non-denominational synagogue, and performance space. The building was constructed by Adas Israel in 1906. In 1951, Adas Israel moved to its current location on Connecticut Ave, and Turner Memorial AME Church purchased the building. Turner Memorial AME moved to its current location in Hyattsville Maryland in 2003, 6th & I was established shortly thereafter.
