This neighborhood church is sited and scaled to exist comfortably with its residential neighbors. A rather severe gable-fronted rectangular mass is softened by an earely Gothic-like, wood shingled mass adjoining its east side. A small scale bell-cast tower rises from the shingled portion of the church, which has multilight fixed sash windows. The church and its setting contribute to the historic streetscape.
