Described as a Free Form Gothic Revival, the church features a rusticated stone foundation, brick walls, buttressed towers, and tar roof. Classrooms and office were added in 1967 and extensive remodeling of the sanctuary occurred in 1973.

St. Paul Episcopal Church Parsonage

This home owned by the Episcopal Church and used for offices, defies style definition. The rounded arches above the windows on the east side and the segmental arches in the facade suggest the Italianate style. The bricks are laid in Flemish bond-header (narrow end of brick) and then stretcher (long side of brick). A row of bricks was placed on end to create a belt course at the foundation line. The hipped roof with dormers and the door placed to the right of center are outside the Italianate framework. Most likely the owner or builder just constructed what pleased and functioned for the family.
