| Appearance |
| This church, clad with red brick, is cross-gabled in form, with a large gable with returns on each of the street elevations (west and south). The west elevation has a large arched stained glass window. The south side has a similar but smaller window, with four smaller windows below. The church’s most striking feature is the square tower at the southwest corner, with a pyramidal roof, broad flat eaves and pairs of large curved brackets. At the top of the tower, each side has an arched opening from which a shed roof with modillions extends. Three small windows are on the tower, one on the west and two on the south. At the base of the tower, on the west side, is the entry with a simple gabled roof with two round columns., The double doors have arched leaded transoms and six small stained glass windows. To the north is another entry to the lower level, with a similar gabled portico and arched doors with no glass. Basement level windows are glass block. A brick-clad modern addition is to the east. |
