The Historic First Church of God in Christ building was constructed in 1923 as a synagogue, known as Shaari Zedek. Since 1969 it has been the home of Historic First Church of God in Christ but is still recognizable as a synagogue. This includes Hebrew script engraved in the stonework above the main entrance.
The building is a Neo-Classical style structure with the facade resembling that of ancient Roman architecture. According to the book, The Lost Synagogues of Brooklyn, the interior has “well-preserved highlights and details that recall the interiors of opulent movie palaces”.
