The church stands at the corner of Compton Avenue and East 49th Street. An alley extends along the eastern perimeter.

Schindler designed an L-shaped interior, lined by a loggia, arranged around a patio. The upper floor had a roof terrace. In order to insulate the church from noise along Compton Avenue, this facade has no windows.

Altered.
