Dramatically situated high above the street, this imposing Gothic Revival gable-fronted church of tan brick and red-tinted mortar features square corner towers of unequal heights entered through gabled porches decorated with bargeboards. Spiky, paneled pinnacles adorn the wooden steeple on the taller tower, while the lower bell tower has a flared pyramidal roof. B. G. Olive (born c. 1865), named as “Contractor and Builder” on the cornerstone, is listed in the 1910 census as a “mulatto house contractor.”
