"This single story building has two gable roofs that intersect in a T. The siding is of horizontal wood. In both gable ends are large multi-paned pointedarch windows. These and smaller windows of the same design are surrounded by plain wood molding. The building's most striking design element is the foursided tower that rises on the front elevation at the intersection of the roofs. At the top is a balustrade of turned posts and corner piers capped by finials. Beneath that, the opening for the bell has decorative bracing, another balustrade, and a horizontal band. Further down the tower is a circular stained—glass window. At the foot of the tower a hipped roof portico shelters the main entrance. The portico has another small balustrade of turned posts, but the supports and the bannister are plain. The building occupies a prominent hilltop site just north of the town's commercial district." (
