The one story high building is 34' wide and 56 ft deep. It has a gable roof and a portico entrance. The pediment above the entrance is supported by two fluted Ionic columns. The central entrance is flanked by a pair of Doric pilasters.
Rising from the gable roof is a three stage steeple. The lower stage is a short square tower. Above is a slightly smaller but taller tower with a short pediment.
