From the National Register nomination
July 2009: Built in the Carpenter Gothic style, this one-story frame chapel was built in two phases. The original section is a front-gabled building with a vestibule attached to the nave. It rests on a high brick and stone English basement. Its roof is covered in standing-seam metal. The shallow frame vestibule projects from the central bay of the façade and features a high-pitched, gabled roof. The double doors have a pointed arch window above. An octagonal bell tower abuts the vestibule. It has three tiers and a cross-shaped finial. The Sunday School addition is a side-gabled block attached to the west elevation of the original chapel. It has a cross-gabled entrance vestibule with double doors and a pointed arch above that roughly matches the main entrance. Three pointed windows with shutters are located on the south-facing façade and west elevation, with an additional four on the north elevation. These windows match the windows of the older section. The frame addition is covered in weatherboard siding and rests on a six-course American bond foundation.
