(08/27/03) The Jewish Synagogue in Tupper Lake had been closed up for decades when a summer resident asked to take a look inside.

Long-time residents whose fathers had built the structure came together with others to restore it for their community. It's the story of one building and four women. Lamar Bliss reports.
