The church is a long, three bay, rectangular structure built of carefully dressed walls of gray limestone. It is covered by a gable roof and the front elevation features a two story pedimented pavilion two bays in width. Atop the pavilion is a simple belfry covered by a low pyramidal roof. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976.[1]
