It has a wood "A" frame and a brick foundation. The interior and exterior walls are shingled, with gargoyles that are replicas of the ones at Notre Dame Cathedral. It has stained-glass windows. One is "David's Window" which was made by Louis Comfort Tiffany. Other stained glass windows are by Maitland Armstrong. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1971 and it is open to the public.
