The tower is of Gothic design with some window slits on the way up to the top. The tower is located on top of the entrance vestibule. Built in 1885-1886 at a cost of $35,000, this church is a contributing structure to the NRHP District status of Haddonfield. The church building was erected from 1885-1886 by Haddonfield builder Wm. S. Capern and stonemasons Budd and Braddock, also of Haddonfield. The architect was Isaac Purcell. In 1907 an addition was built to the Sunday School, followed in 1915 by an even larger addition to the Sunday School. Extensive remodeling of the exterior was undertaken in 1944, including the present gray stone front.
