Designed in the shape of a Greek cross, the building was built in two stages. The first level was completed in 1911, with the much larger second floor added during 1915-16. The original plans called for a large dome to be erected on top, but this was never implemented due to financial constraints. Instead, a large leaded glass dome was created for the roof of the main auditorium. This was later removed. It was sold in early 2004 and was redeveloped as condominiums.
