This Stone Avenue building, listed as a contributing property on the National Register of Historic Places, has since been repurposed as the Tucson Jewish Museum & Holocaust Center.

[2] Emanu-El's original building, the Stone Avenue Temple, was a brick structure designed by Ely Blount.

Blount blended a pedimented, pilastered Greek Revival façade with rounded windows and twin towers in Rundbogenstil style.

[9][10] In addition to its permanent collection, the museum hosts exhibitions, lectures, the annual Ketubah and Antique wedding gown exhibit and the Jewish Storytelling Festival as well as is the home of the Jewish Arizona Oral History Project.

A 4.2-acre (1.7 ha) property was purchased in 2002 with the assistance of donations and borrowings; and the 400,000-square-foot (37,000 m2) house converted into a chapel, education facilities, and administrative offices.
