Its Arizona State historic property registration describes it:

Stylistically, St. Paul's Episcopal Church is unique among the institutional structures in Yuma. Its most distinctive features include a broad shingled roof, rusticated masonry base, and articulated framing in the porch – all characteristics of the Shingle Style and its derivative the Western Stick Style. As both of these styles are more commonly associated with residential design its use for St. Paul's is exceptional. However, since the church is situated in the midst of a residential area with many Bungaloid homes, the design) of the church was quite appropriate. [3]
