| Additional Information: | Ashlar stone. Glued laminated arches provided by Unit Structures, Inc. 2023: St. Peter’s Reformed Church was constructed in 1937 in a Late Gothic Revival style with a sympathetic addition completed in 1987. The building is irregular in plan with stone veneer walls and asphalt-shingled gable roofs. The front elevation faces south and is asymmetrical in composition. The original building consisted of the westernmost rectangular building mass with a square tower at its southwest corner. This mass is front-gabled and features an arrangement of three tall, narrow, pointed-arch, stained-glass windows centered in its front wall under the gable. Below this, a projecting bay (which originally served as the front entry bay) contains a pair of pointed arch, stained-glass transom windows; the space below these has been infilled with stone veneer. The tower features narrow, pointed-arch stained-glass windows at the first and second stories and pairs of pointed-arch openings with louvered panels at the belfry; it is capped by a flat roof with modest pinnacles along each side. Narrow, stone-veneered buttresses are located at the front corners of each building mass (including the tower) and along the exposed side elevations. The 1987 addition spans the eastern wall of the original building mass and features similar styling; this consists of two front-gabled masses, the westernmost of which features a projecting entry bay containing a pointed-arch entry centered in its south elevation. |
