The synagogue was built by H.I. Feldman, a prolific, Yale-educated architect who built thousands of Art Deco and Modernist-style buildings in New York City, notably 1025 Fifth Avenue (between 83rd and 84th Streets) on the Upper East Side and the LaGuardia Houses on the Lower East Side, as well as many buildings that line the Grand Concourse in the Bronx.
Feldman and his company, The Feldman Company, also built the Federation of Jewish Philanthropies building (130 East 59th Street) and the United Jewish Appeal building (220 West 58th Street).

There were wartime restrictions on building, so building was postponed for a time until 1947.
The building's construction was completed in September 1948, and the synagogue was dedicated on September 12, 1948.

The limestone building itself is narrow, approximately 19 feet wide by 60 feet deep, and cost $150,000 to build.
It was notable for having air conditioning.
