The Temple's pillared facade on Emerson Avenue, the site of the former community house, reflects Greek influence on early Judaism. The five doors represent the five books of the Torah: Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy.

Sacred Heart Chapel interior, St. Benedict's Monastery. This photograph, though flawed, gives an excellent view of the sanctuary as it was built in 1914. The sanctuary floor was Kasota marble in artistically interchanged pink and buff and, in its center, had a dial six feet in diameter of polished Pavanazzo marble surrounded by a scroll of gold mosaic. Around this large dial were four small dials of Numidian African (red) marble. There were also a number of designs in Tennessee marble in the sanctuary as well as in the different aisles which are mainly terrazzo. (Chronicles, ppage141-145) This view also shows the marked elevation of the sanctuary floor.
