[1] The church is set in the heart of downtown Great Barrington, facing west toward Main Street.

The church, along with its manse and carriage house, are all built of locally quarried limestone.

A five-story tower, 116 feet (35 m) in height, rises at the southwest corner, and is topped by a pyramidal roof with flared edges.

The church was designed by William C. Brocklesby, an architect practicing in Hartford, Connecticut.

The manse and carriage barn, added in 1884, were designed by Peabody and Stearns of Boston.
