St. Augustine's Church was constructed in 1878 in the Carpenter Gothic style over a brownstone foundation. The Carpenter Gothic style is a North American adaptation of Gothic Revival style. It is characterized by steeply pitched roofs, gables and carved wood ornamentation.

Rising from the steeple pitched gable roof is a bell tower with an open belfry and a flared pyramidal spire topped with across. Crosses frets decorated the front of the gable.

The west side has four Gothic style stained glass windows with the first window matching those at the front. At the back is stairway leading to an auxiliary entrance. In front, a slanted roof covers a projection with an entrance. An addition is added to the back of the church.
