A set of steps leads up to the red double door entrance which is framed by a brick Gothic arch. Above the entrance is a tall belfry with louvered windows set within a brick Gothic arch. At the top of the tower is a tall tapered octagonal spire with four alternating closed dormers, at the base, with gable roofs topped by crosses a cross on top.
The main block has a gable roof and is four bays wide beyond the tower. Each bay is separated by a brick and brownstone column and contains a large Gothic glass window.
