It is a good local example of Gothic and Romanesque architecture, and was the first church built to serve the mill workers in the city's north end.

Pilgrim Memorial Church stands in a mixed-use area north of downtown Pittsfield, on the west side of Wahconah Street south of its junction with Pecks Road and Pontoosuc Avenue.

It is a modestly scaled stone structure, built out of local fieldstone and covered by a steeply pitched gable roof.

The south-facing sanctuary facade has three tall Gothic windows, the center one rising into the gable.

Unlike the church, which was built in granite, the parish house is a single story tan brick building in a more utilitarian style.
