The Podvale synagogue is a small 4 x 2 bay building which today bears no evidence of its former use. Sited on a low basement, the building consists of a single large room (though the basement, about a third of the size of the hall, has been divided into several smaller rooms). Little can be gleaned about the original organization of the building, though the stepped interior roof would suggest a southern--towardsJerusalem--prayer orientation, not uncommon inUkraine, but this, in the face of the lack of evidence, remains primarily speculative. No evidence, interior or exterior, seems to remain of a Torah niche. The street facade is plain, with a pair of windows on each of the two courses. On the E facade are four large round-headed windows, whose forms are repeated on the upper course of the N facade. Because of the extensive renovations and current poor state of the building, its history remains problematic.
