The Temple House building was completed in September of 1929. It was a state of the art six story building. In the Temple House were a 125 seat chapel, social halls, a major ballroom, meeting rooms, administrative offices, a library, class rooms for the Religious School, handball courts, a swimming pool and gymnasium.

The Temple House quickly became the focus for all of the temple's social, cultural, and educational life. Not only were children educated in the Temple House classrooms, but adults presented original theatrical productions in the ballroom, receptions of all kinds were held in the social halls, youth groups met for informal education, and a varied program to enrich Jewish and community life was offered.

In 1979 an Early Childhood Center began in some of the rooms of the Temple House. It was followed by an After School Recreational Center, and a Summer Day Camp. All of these activities used all of the Temple House facilities in new and innovative ways that fulfilled the potential of the building.

There is a master plan for the revitalization and expansion of the Temple House in the future. These plans will hopefully be realized in the next 5-10 years.

Today the Temple House building is used seven days a week for the multiple and varied activities of Congregation Beth Elohim.
