The [[Gothic Revival architecture|Gothic Revival]] style building is composed of [[Rustication (architecture)|rusticated]] [[limestone]]. A three-story bell tower is on the west end of the building and the [[apse]] is on the east. Because the church is built into the side of a hill both the upper and lower levels of the building open onto the ground level. The church features Gothic arch windows and doors throughout. [[Buttress]]es are placed between the windows on both sides of the building. It is considered an excellent example of late 19th century Gothic Revival ecclesiastical design.<ref name=Naumann>{{cite web|url={{NRHP url|id=91001762}}|title=Fifth Street Bluff Historic District|accessdate=2018-10-12|publisher=[[National Park Service]]|author=Molly Myers Naumann}}</ref>
