The magnificent building was designed in 1927 by Kohn, Butler & Stein with Goodhue Associates and Mayers, Murray & Phillip with structural elements by the Guastavino Fireproof Tile Co. It is largely Romanesque Revival in style with Moorish, Occidental, Art Deco, and Oriental influences as well. The interior murals were designed by Hildreth Meière who was the most prominent muralist of her time.

The stained glass works were executed by G. Owen Bonawit, Montague Castle Studios, Oliver Smith Studios, James Powell & Sons and J. Gordon Guthrie; the foyer contains a WWI memorial plaque cast by Tiffany Studios. The perpetual light suspended over the ark is enclosed in ruby glass set in bronze and was executed by E. F. Caldwell & Company. Elsewhere in the temple are railings by Samuel Yellin.

A 2007 restoration was conducted by Polshek Partnership Architects with Beyer Blinder Belle Architects & Planners and EverGreene Painting Studio. The north annex exterior was used as a filming location for S4E7 of the Amazon Video series "The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel" during a flashback scene of her Sadie Hawkins Day experience as a child.

It is open to the public for visitation from Sunday through Thursday, 10:00am to 4:00pm.
