The church stands at the northeast corner of Harvard and Linden, with the other buildings arrayed to its north and east.

The convent is a c. 1843 Greek Revival house moved from the Linden Place area in 1899, and then enlarged and finished in brick.

[2] The church is a red brick Gothic Revival structure with brownstone trim, featuring a tower that is 146 feet (45 m) in height.

It has a basically cruciform plan, with a rounded apse and the tower set at the southwest corner of the crossing point.

The main entrance is at its southern end, and has two arched doorways and a niche above for a statue of the Virgin Mary.
