From the National Register nomination
Gothic Revival one-story church with a limestone exterior and steep asphalt-shingled gables. The corner entry tower has narrow trefoil-arch loop windows, a belfry with double trefoil-arch openings surmounted by quatrefoil openings and lancet label moldings, and a restrained parapet. The entry at the foot of the tower has decorative double-leaf wood doors with trefoils, quatrefoils, and colonnettes in the Indiana limestone surround. The front (west) and south gables have large three-part lancet stained glass windows. At the front north corner is a low flat-roofed wing (an office?) with narrow square-headed windows with stained glass shield designs. A one-story education wing extends to the rear. Other features include heavy molded stone watertables, a secondary south-side entry similar to the tower entry, buttresses with weatherings, ornate cross finials, and a reused 1897 cornerstone in addition to the 1931 cornerstone. The St. Stephen's congregation was organized in 1894. (Open House, 5)
