The buildings, dating back to 1823 and 1844 respectively, boast remarkable architectural features that have mostly remained intact since their last modifications in 1973. The main worship hall is spacious and features a raised mezzanine that connects to the first floor of the school building, which also includes a kitchen area and cloakroom.
