Built in 1886, this historic church is a two-story brick building, which was designed in a modified Gothic style. It features a three-story square bell tower with large oval windows and brick tracery.[3]
Attached to the church by a one-bay, two-story section is a three-story brick parsonage that was built in 1897.[3]
