The Church was constructed from 1922-1927 for $325,000 U.S. Dollars, this is the third church in this location and the second to be built by Philip's widow, Sarah (Moore) Cochran. The church reflects R.A. Cram's methods of Gothic Architecture and there is a lot of Gothic Architecture inside and out.


Somtimes the church is opened for tours, which is located less than a mile from the Great Allegheny Passage Hike/Bike Trail
