Significance: The original design is practically intact. A few recent repairs to the building have obliterated details as window trim, casings in limited and well defined areas, but in general the structure still exhibits its original detailing. The building is not only one of the larger churches in the Virgin Islands, it is also unique for the relative excellence of its detailing and for its unusual interior design. Stylistically, it has a combination of Gothic and Classical Revival elements executed with a heavy reliance on traditional use of materials and craftsmanship.
