This brick building is the most sophisticated of three church buildings on the Boulevard. The steeple and portico of the Federal Revival structure were influenced by the work of James Gibbs and Charles Bulfinch and would not look out of place in New England. The pedimented Ionic-columned portico has a modillioned cornice. The tower rises in three stages with an octagonal cupola on top. The interior, with barrel-vaulted nave, recalls Peter Harrison's King's Chapel, Boston.
