It built in 1875, and is a one-story, stucco-covered brick building with a rectangular plan and a front facing gable. The church features a central square tower added in 1892, with wide overhanging boxed eaves, a centered round window, and a pyramidal roof. It sits on a raised basement dug in 1926. It is one of two remaining urban African-American churches in Cape Girardeau constructed during the Reconstruction Era.[2]:7
