Scope and Contents: Main portion of church has pyramidal roof, with large hemispherical dome protruding from it. From the apex of the hemisphere rises a short, octagonal tower with talianate details, capped by an eight-paneled hemispherical dome, with a double cross on lop. The front portion of the church has a peaked roof with the gable-end toward the front of the building (with a door in it). It is topped by a four-sided bell lower, with bells visible, and the bell tower is topped by a rather slender onion dome with a sphere on top of the slender part, and a cross above that, with three crossbars, two in standard double cross style, and a third below them at an angle. A house next door is plainly visible, with Queen Anne details. In the left foreground appear two blurry animals, which may be pigs foraging for food in the street.
