This historic International Style sanctuary and school building is a two-story steel-frame structure with an exterior path of crab orchard stone leading to symbolic bronze doors. Inside, the lobbies feature imported pink marble from Jerusalem. The auditorium includes stained glass windows designed by Jack Grue in collaboration with architect George Awsumb, an acoustical tile ceiling painted blue with six-pointed gold stars, and terrazzo flooring. The auditorium seats approximately 2,500 people. The north side of the building provides a ground-level drive to a basement entrance, located within a few feet of the elevator.

The property is located in the Vollintine Hills Historic District, approximately four miles east of downtown Memphis, and is described as minutes from the Memphis Zoo and Rhodes College. The district is bounded by Evergreen Street to the west, McLean Boulevard to the east, Vollintine Avenue to the south, and Brown Avenue to the north.

The building is described as 84,000 square feet and is zoned R-6, sitting on approximately 6.5 acres. The additional approximately 6 acres could be developed with complementary uses for a total of 12.4 acres. The 84,000-square-foot improvement is presented as a strong fit to convert to a personal care home, rehabilitation facility, flats for temporary housing, university house, or a school.
