This church, which has a flat roof and broad eaves but lacks a bell tower and other traditional church features, was inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright's Unity Temple in Oak Park, Illinois.

The congregation was an offshoot of First Presbyterian Church and was named after the Reverend David Stewart.

[2] The main portion of the church is organized around a cube-shaped auditorium with light provided by a wall of eastward-facing green-tinted windows.

Decoration is relatively modest, consisting mainly of wood strips in geometric patterns.

In 1988, Redeemer Missionary Baptist Church bought the building and raised over $2 million for restoration and renovation.
