More Information
The original church, dating to 1920, featured a spare design with white-stucco cladding, flared buttressing (echoing the look of the English Arts & Crafts movement), and pointed neo-Gothic windows. The 1960s addition was two-fold, creating a new narthex and entry wing at the front of the older structure and an office and multi-use space off the rear of the existing church. Both of these are generally modern in character, clad in dark brown brick, with interest created through the use of a peaked entry portal.
