The current building was designed by architectural firm Cram, Goodhue & Ferguson in Late Gothic Revival style. It was built between 1900 and 1902, thanks to a donation in memory of John Nicholas Brown I by his widow, Natalie Bayard Brown. Brown donated the reredos and murals in 1921 in honor of Armistice Day.[2] In the early 1930s, E. Power Biggs served as its organist.[2] It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1996.[1]
