The synagogue was built in 1934 and is a rectangular, 1-story building built into a hillside. It is a three-by-five-bay frame structure clad in asbestos-cement tiles. The front facade features a stepped, pedimented parapet that extends beyond the roofline.[2]
The synagogue was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1999.[1]
By 2005 the synagogue had been abandoned and sold to auctioneers, who were trying to onset the building.[3]
