"The 1883 First Presbyterian Church is a Gothic Revival architectural structure, styled after the order of the old English church, with Gothic Scottish elements. The wood work, such as the roof, windows, and the pulpit stand, are made from native pine. The windows are fitted with cathedral glass in many colors.

Primarily Gothic Revival architecture, the Church contains some Scottish style elements seen in the Celtic cross on the steeple, the small windows, and the original red brick exterior. The primary doors along the outside are protected by a vestibules and a tower rises above the main entrance. The roof line is broken up by gables and the side walls are relieved by buttresses. The floor is raised by gradual incline to the rear of the auditorium, and below is the recess for the choir. A pipe organ was installed in 1909, which moved the choir to the front of the church. Due to cracks in the wall and plaster, hand-carved wooden plaques, made by Reverend J.E. McLean (pastor from 1893-1906) were mounted over the entrances to the choir loft as a low cost renovation solution."
