The church's design features a bell tower with an octagonal, partly open belfry; the tower is topped by a tall cross. The church has a gable roof with a four-sided cupola in the middle, which is topped by another cross.[2][3]

The chapel was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.[1]
