The church is located on the ground and lower floors of a high-rise office building owned by the church.  The front of the church is Greek Revival, but the building above it looks like any other office building built in those times.

Skinner Op. 330 was installed in 1925. Aeolian-Skinner rebuilt and enlarged the organ in 1956 as 330-B, with a new console and many tonal changes.  The main organ is located behind a lattice-grill screen covering the approximately 18' by 20' arched chamber opening above the reader's platform.  The Skinner console was originally up in the small balcony in front of the chamber, but the 1956 console is now on the floor to the right of the speaker's platform.

The above stop list was copied off the knobs during a visit in 1996.
