National Register of Historic Places federal list of historic sites in the United States

The National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) is the United States federal government's official list of districts, sites, buildings, structures, and objects deemed worthy of preservation for their historical significance. A property listed in the National Register, or located within a National Register Historic District, may qualify for tax incentives derived from the total value of expenses incurred preserving the property.

It is 26 by 61 feet (7.9 m × 18.6 m) in plan. It is described in its NRHP nomination as:

a distinctive red brick building with stone trim and a steeply-pitched, wood shingle roof. The building has decorative gabled trim, pointed-arch windows, buttressing, and a central tower/narthex with an elaborate roof and a round arched entry below a large rose window. Stylistically, the eclectic composition almost defies classification. Predominantly Victorian Gothic, the church also possesses elements of other styles from the Late Victorian era, including Romanesque Revival, the Stick Style, and Queen Anne with some Germanic influences. [2]

Narthex

The narthex is an architectural element typical of early Christian and Byzantine basilicas and churches consisting of the entrance or lobby area, located at the west end of the nave, opposite the church's main altar. Traditionally the narthex was a part of the church building, but was not considered part of the church proper.
