The church was built in 1919, and looks pretty good for its age. That could have a lot to do with the fact that it has been resided with vinyl siding and reroofed with metal roofing. Even the eaves troughs look brand new. The interior has an open truss sanctuary of a style reminiscent of turn of the century designs and three stained glass windows down each side and more on the end. The windows are actually colored glass with a stained glass insert in the centre of each one.
Oddly, the bell tower on this church forms a rear entrance instead of being at the front. The church was built in 1919, but the bells tower is a simple square with a very shallow pyramidal roof. roof and vents at the top. Methinks this bell tower was an afterthought or has been substantially remodeled.
