It was designed by noted 19th-century architect John G. Haskell in association with another architect, Frederick C. Gunn.[2]
It is a Richardsonian Romanesque work.[3]: 29–30
Its "dominant feature" is a six-story-tall square clock tower, with four minarets and a pyramidal roof topped by a metal finial. There is also a smaller octagonal stair tower with an eight-sided roof, topped by another finial. Windows in the stair tower alternate on the five visible sides of the tower.[2]
