New England Colonial style with an outsized octagonal tower that certainly commands attention.
Addendum: The church was dedicated in 1952; the architect was Arthur N. Steinmark,1 who made a specialty of traditionally styled churches in the postwar era when many other architects had become fanatical converts to modernism.
Here is a fine example of the last gasp of Gothic architecture in America. This church was built as late as 1951 in a style that would have seemed reasonably conservative twenty years earlier. The building has passed into the hands of the Immanuel Orthodox Presbyterian congregation, and members were spiffing up the grounds while old Pa Pitt was taking these pictures.
The west-front entrance is very similar to what William P. Hutchins did more than two decades earlier at St. Francis Xavier Church in Brighton Heights; perhaps they were both inspired by the same historical example.
Addendum: The architect was Arthur N. Steinmark, who had worked for Hutchins at about the time he was designing St. Francis Xavier.1
Around the corner, behind the church, is a Sunday-school building that dates from 1928 in a style we might call Educational Gothic.
