Structure Description

The style is characterized by its verticality as well as its delicacy as it moves upward to meet the sky. Characteristic of the style is the polychromatic effect created by the red brick with stone and metal trim, the steeply pitched gable with parapet, the dominating square tower with spire at the entrance end with two smaller towers with spires at the corners, pointed arch, lancet windows, rosettes, and stained glass windows with tracery.
