| Additional Information: | Another map code for this building is WT 18/26, found on the Hand Drawn map. This one story church building features an L-shaped plan configuration, a stone foundation, a brick exterior, a brick trim and an asphalt shingled gable and hip roof. Greek Revival and Gothic design elements are both visible. A brick moulded cornice runs all along the structure and eave returns appear in the open gable end. Windows, including pointed arch and Tudor arch stained glass windows and a singular round gable window, are all present in the architectural design as well. Originally, the building had an octagonal belfry with a spire. The former church is in fair condition. It is has been most recently used as retail space. |
