The roof of a 150-year-old synagogue in Lower Manhattan once renowned as the Cantors’ Carnegie Hall, where the choir had included Red Buttons and Eddie Cantor, collapsed yesterday, forcing evacuations from four adjacent residential buildings and throwing into doubt the future of one of New York’s historic religious structures.

The collapse at the First Roumanian-American Congregation, at 89-93 Rivington Street, began shortly before 4 p.m. in a cascade of timbers, tar paper and debris, after beams supporting the roof came loose, the authorities said late yesterday. There were no injuries. Water damage was detected on the roof several weeks earlier, and congregants were told to stay away until planned repairs were performed.
