The church spire can be seen at the corner of Penn and Walnut Streets.

On September 9, 1869, a cornerstone was laid on the southwest corner of the building with a time capsule inside. The capsule has never been found. The Norman-style sanctuary building that faced Penn Street was completed in 1871, however, the southwest tower was not completed until 1884. Link
