Description from the Bronx Survey

Thompson & Frohling, 1909.

This charming red and buff brick church makes good use of a difficult triangular site. The most unusual aspect of the design is the way in which the semicircular apse has been positioned at the most conspicuous end of the corner lot. Cusp-arched windows along the sides of the building are arranged under a flaring hipped roof that is pierced by small shed dormers. A polygonal cupola competes the delightful composition.
