It is a modestly scaled brick building, with complex hipped roof arrangement that includes large gables facing both Park and Amity.

The Park Street facade is asymmetrical, with a large square tower on the right housing the main entrance, and a smaller one on the left.

[2] The Parkville area developed as an industrial village beginning in the 1870s, experiencing its greatest growth between 1890 and the First World War.

The church tower's upper levels were extensively damaged by the New England Hurricane of 1938, and were removed, leaving the present squat configuration.

This building stood vacant for a time, and was purchased in 1979 by the Templo Sion Pentecostal Church,[2] its present occupant.
