From the outside, the old church had been fully restored to the glory of the original Gothic architecture. Every stained glass window had been restored by hand, the gargoyles repaired and the stonework cleaned. The only additions were lights, hidden in the flying buttresses that pointed at the stained glass windows to cast the lights inside. A thick stone wall with wrought iron gates surrounds the entire building, a flagstone courtyard serving as a waiting area when the line for entrance grows too long.
The doors are heavy English oak, weathered and bound with iron. Passing through them it is obvious that the inside has been completely renovated. The pews all been removed, and the wooden railings on the upper balconies replaced with heavy wrought iron. The staircases leading up are roped off, guarded by large, pale figures in black leather.
The upper balconies have had dividers installed, deep red curtains hanging in the entryway to the alcoves the dividers form. Each of the alcoves has a table and cushioned benches for guests to relax in, and are dimly lit by wall sconces with red stained glass enclosures.
The entire near half of the left hand wall is a long polished stone bar with numerous bottles holding practically any brand and vintage that might be called for. Along both sides of the main room, wrought iron cages hang from the ceiling. Each cage can be swung over to the catwalk running the length of the room, to let the club dancers enter and leave during parties.
The altar area has been replaced with a stage, able to be used by a band, or for performances of a more risqué nature. Two small rooms off the stage holding a variety of furniture and accessories that can be used to give both pain and pleasure.
The benches in the booths are the original pews, reworked and padded to be exceedingly comfortable for the patrons. Braziers mounted on pedestals are cordoned off by wrought iron to protect the patrons from the flames.
The club staff all wear leather uniforms in black and scarlet. The women wear a scarlet leather corset and short skirt with thigh boots. The men wear a leather tunic and pants with knee boots.
In a recessed alcove set in the far wall a heavy ironbound door leads to a set of stairs leading down to the old crypts under the church. The hallway is cut from the natural stone, and dimly lit by wall sconces. Turning left, the hallway opens into two storerooms, one filled with miscellaneous supplies, and another with bottles and barrels for replenishing the bar. Turning left there is a vault refurbished as a cooler, numerous barrels lining the walls. At the end of the hall is a smooth stone wall, the faint marks of an archway carved into the smooth stone.
