The building's overall \n dimensions are 44\"9\" X 60\"5\"; atop the tower is a soaring, broached spire that reaches a \n height of approximately 92 feet. \n The principal entrance, approached by a flight of low steps, is' centered on the east side \n of the tower. A pointed-arch window pierces the north side of the tower's first level, \n and an auxiliary entrance is on the main facade, near the southeast corner. However, \n the main fenestration and focal points are triple-lancet arrangements centered on \n the east, north, and south walls. \n Centered on the rear (west) elevation is a 1-story, hip-roofed extension that provided \n space for an office and pastor's study during the building's service as a church. This \n section contains an entrance at the north and south, and there are three identical \n pointed-arch windows along the west (rear) wall. There is a full basement, and a brick \n chimney is near the juncture of the main building and the lower rear extension.","bbox":{"left":0.042629,"top":0.311824,"width":0.928052,"height":0.33261699999999994}},{"text":"Gabled roof sections are steeply pitched, and there is decorative brick corbelling below \n the eaves.
