[1] The dark red painted brick exterior of the masjid is complemented by black asphalt roofing and rough-hewn bluestone courses.
Six stone steps and a railing lead to its ground-floor entrance, with paired batten doors in a Gothic opening with a similar treatment as the fellowship hall windows.
The third stage harbors the bell, with large arched louvered openings rising from another belt course, split by a third at the impost.
Above the corbeled roofline, the octagonal spire rises, topped by a cross and set off with four small pyramids at the corners, to 100 feet (30 m) high.

[1] At some point prior to the 1920s the partitions and fluid space of the Akron Plan interior were abandoned in favor of fixed walls.
[1] Later on in the 20th century, in the early 1960s, an engineering and construction campaign led to the excavation of a new basement and additional facilities below ground level.
