The proportions and roof pitch of the church are Greek Revival, although all of its detailing, including its tower and spire, is Gothic Revival. Thin buttresses project from the walls and corners of the building, and those on the corners have finials. Windows and doors have pointed arches and there is a small round window (containing three circles) over the entrance doorway.
