The society's building, called a "tomb", was designed in the [[Moorish Revival]] style by [[Richard Morris Hunt]] and constructed in 1870.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://conserve-art.com/scroll-and-key-tomb/|title = Scroll and Key Tomb|date = June 8, 2013}}</ref> A later expansion was completed in 1901. Architectural historian Patrick Pinnell includes an in-depth discussion of Keys' building in his 1999 history of Yale's campus, relating the then-notable cost overruns associated with the Keys structure and its aesthetic significance within the campus landscape. Pinnell's history shares the fact that the land was purchased from another Yale secret society, [[Berzelius (secret society)|Berzelius]] (at that time, a [[Sheffield Scientific School]] society).

Regarding the tomb's distinctive appearance, Pinnell noted that "19th-century artists' studios commonly had exotic orientalia lying about to suggest that the painter was sophisticated, well traveled, and in touch with mysterious powers; Hunt's Scroll and Key is one instance in which the trope got turned into a building."<ref name="Pinnell1">{{cite book|last=Pinnell|first=Patrick|title=The Campus Guide: Yale University|publisher=Princeton Architectural Press|year=1999|pages=125|isbn=978-1-56898-167-3|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=alnup81pmkAC&q=patrick+pinnell+yale+anthony&pg=PA123|access-date=2008-11-10}}</ref> Later, undergraduates described the building as a "striped zebra Billiard Hall" in a supplement to a Yale yearbook.<ref>Andrews, John.''History of the Founding of [[Wolf's Head (secret society)|Wolf's Head]]'', pg. 56, Lancaster Press, 1934</ref> More recently, it has been described by an undergraduate publication as being "the nicest building in all of New Haven".<ref>{{cite web|url=http://yaleherald.com/bullblog/francos-little-place-in-new-haven-where-will-it-be-fun-study-break-poll//|title=Franco's "little place in New Haven": where will it be?
