The double-height brick and stone masonry church building was constructed in 1908, and was designed by George W. Conable in the Gothic Revival style.[4][5] In the 1950s, the building was slated for demolition as part of Robert Moses' urban renewal program, but the parish resisted and eventually, after 10 years, won the battle. It became the only structure within 32 acres (13 ha) in its neighborhood not to have been razed by Moses.[3] On September 26, 2009, the building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places.[1]
