| Additional Information: | This early 20th century church is crisply detailed wiht cut limestone accents and painted wood trim in the style of an English Parish Church. It has pseudo-tudor arches of double or triple row-lock brick with stone keystones. The entry surround is of stone as are the copings of the Tudor gables buttress caps and square corner tower/belfry. The brick is red and is a comb-cut variety. The porch railing appears to be a recent modification. A later addition is to the North. This building is of architectural interest as a local examle of a common church building type for the period that has been well maintained and relatively unaltered. |
