It is a public record and may be viewed in person at the Wisconsin Historical Society, Division of Historic Preservation-Public History. HIGHLY INTACT GOTHIC REVIVAL STYLE CHURCH CLAD IN CREAM BRICK.

A gable-roofed cream brick-clad transept and rear entrance was added to the east side of the elevation of the church in 1998 but this addition was intentionally designed to match the design of the original church and the materials used in its construction are identical to those that were used to build the original church. |
