The church is an example of the rural type of English Gothic architecture. particularly well suited to its wooded site and the quiet residential character of the surrounding neighborhood. It is of brick and stone construction. ~femorials and gifts in the new edifice include the organ, altar cross, altar yases. baptismal font, windows. and miscellaneous equipment for the Sunday school auditorium and social rooms.
