According to the expository writing, Kirizuma-zukuri (an architectural style with a gabled roof), the outer wall adopted the shitami itabari style (wooden board siding with battens), the chapel with vertical windows, a wooden two-story building of Yosemune-zukuri (square or rectangular building covered with a hipped roof) and
walls finished with mortar was extended in front of the parsonage, a tower is placed on the right hand side in the front. Also the alter in the chapel has characteristic features of early Showa period.
