The building serves as a chapel and as home for the Masonic Cemetery's caretaker. It is an L-shaped Tudor Revival-style building with buttresses at ends and midway. It is constructed of rusticated random ashlar sandstone, light brown in color, with reddish mortar. It has a dark brown wood shingle roof, half-timbering in its gable, bargeboards, and exposed rafters.
It was deemed significant as "one of the most richly finished Tudor Revival buildings in New Mexico". It was funded in 1912 by Charles Ilfeld "the State's leading nineteenth-century merchant", who later would fund completion of the larger Adele Ilfeld Auditorium.[2]
