"Constructed of brick laid in Flemish bond, St. Peter's measures 64 feet 4 inches (19.61 m) by 28 feet 4.5 inches (8.649 m) and is one story high. The gable roof has curvilinear gable ends; segmental arches appear over the windows of the church and the open arches of the tower which was added in the mid-eighteenth century replacing an earlier wooden belfry. The two-story brick tower is of Flemish bond with some glazing and has a pyramidal roof. The top of the tower is also decorated by four original stuccoed brick urns. A wing was added sometime before the Revolution but was removed in the middle of the nineteenth century.
"The original south doorway and several windows had been bricked up but have been restored as have the curvilinear gable ends for which evidence was found in the fabric of the building during the 1940's and again during the restoration work of 1951-52. Much of the interior and exterior has been restored or replaced in what is thought to be its original condition."
