The design of the chapel is Art-Deco fused with Neo-Gothic and Romanesque details.It was the site of funeral rites of Brother Felix Manalo in 1963, which were attended by over 2 Million brethren before Brother Manalo's remains buried in mausoleum in old central office in San Juan. In the film Felix Manalo, the funeral scene was depicted at this house of worship, as it happened in 1963. It was refurbished in 2007 to upgrade the interior design which is standard for the new chapels of the church, which most of the previous design are retained.
