This stone church - built in a Gothic Revival style (steeply arched windows, arched door, prominent tower at the entrance for bells and the steeple) - was constructed in 1876. Stephen White was the architect of the church rebuild, and unfortunately, I am not finding more information on him or on the actual construction of the church.
The entry has a pair of wooden church doors, painted red to signify sanctuary can be found here. Three pairs of arched windows are along the nave with a single arched window at the transept. The large tower at the entrance has a single bell - unknown if it still functions - and the tower is topped by a small cross. There is a larger bell tower in the courtyard that holds several bells aloft - again unknown if these are functional.
The text of the historical marker is as follows:
