The Tushiyah United Hebrew School – Scott Memorial Methodist Episcopal Church is a two-story commercial-style building with a concrete foundation, masonry walls, and steel framing.
The building is clad with tan brick, and features decorative brickwork with cast stone trim, medallions, and reliefs.

The original building was constructed in an L-shape, 102 feet by 134 feet.
An arched roof, obscured by the parapet walls, covers the main section while the east-west section of the building has a flat roof.
A single-story addition of concrete block and brick was built in 1950 across the rear, making a C-shape.

The front facade, facing Kirby Street, has five bays.
The center bay has four piers with limestone bands and an urn at the top.
Each floor has a pair of one-over-one double-hung windows with transoms.
The bay to the left of the center contains the entrance, with two aluminum and glass doors.
Two one-over-one double-hung windows with transoms hang on the second floor, surmounted by a weathered plaque reading "Tushiyah United Hebrew Schools of Detroit."
The parapet wall has a brick relief in the center.
The bay to the right of the center is identical to the entrance bay, but with two one-over-one double-hung windows with transoms on the first floor in place of the entrance doors.
The two end bays have two pairs of one-over-one double-hung windows with transoms on each floor.
A classical metal cornice once ran the width of the facade, but has been removed.

The side facade facing St. Antoine also has five bays: a wide center bay with five pairs of one-over-one double-hung windows with transoms, two flanking bays with three pairs of one-over-one double-hung windows with transoms, and two end bays with two pairs of one-over-one double-hung windows with transoms.
Brick piers with limestone banding separate the windows.
The elevations that do not face the street are red brick with limestone sills, pierced by similar one-over-one double-hung windows.

Inside the building, the main entrance has a white tile floor containing green tiles spelling, "Kirby Center" and green-and-yellow tile wainscoting.
The interior hallways have terrazzo floors, plaster walls, and acoustic ceiling tile.
Classrooms open onto the hall through wood-and-glass doors with transoms; many rooms retain the original wood floors, wood trim, and plaster walls.
A dining hall on the first floor is not original.
An auditorium and associated coat room, bar area, and restrooms are on the second floor.
