The original portico was built in front of the qibla ("direction towards Kaaba").

On the north and south sides, the layout of the original portico corresponded to that in the later building; on both the east and west sides, in contrast, it was more spacious.

The present building consists of the original portico, with its ten columns, on the eastern side, a spacious sanctuary with lofty alcoves on four sides, a mosque on the western side of the sanctuary, and various rooms.

It features an original flat-roof portico and side gable roof.

The marquee of the early 1900's has vanished, as has the original portico, and fire escapes now run up the facade, but otherwise the building has aged very little.

A frame structure two stories tall, the house was built with a small portico at the entrance; when it was later expanded to a large porch, almost all of the original portico was removed.

The 1924 addition, which obscured a 19th-century facade, was demolished, and, using an 1848 lithograph, the architect reconstructed the original portico and restored the landscaping.

She used this money to support her family and renovate her house, adding an elaborate back portico with Doric columns, much like the original portico facing the lake.

The front facade features an original colossal two-story portico consisting of four unfluted Ionic order columns.
