Additional Comments
Large L-plan frame Late Gothic Revival style church on brownstone foundation with a prominent square tower and large pointed arch windows with tracery in the primary facades.

Built in 1893 at 2nd Avenue West and 8th Street, the church was moved to its current location in 1902. In 1923, a basement was added and the church tower was removed at some later date. As well, a new entrance was added along MacArthur Avenue.
