[2] St. Ann's stands one block north of Richford's small business district, at the southwest corner of Church and Town Streets.

It is a narrow rectangular wood-frame structure, with a steeply pitched gable roof and stone foundation.

The main entrance is in a square tower that projects from the northeastern corner, rising through a belfry to a bellcast roof and steeple.

The walls and floors are finished in smoky buttered tongue-and-groove wooden boards, with the roof supported by five large Gothic-arched trusses.

[3] The church was built in 1883 by the Episcopal Diocese of Vermont, its leaders having noted that the town lacked a significant religious presence, with two other denominations having been unsuccessful in starting congregations.
