This is a rare example of Gothic Revival stone architecture in Northern New Mexico. The church was designed to serve as the cathedral church of the Missionary District of Arizona and New Mexico. Stylistically, the Episcopal Church resembles architect Richard Upjohn's design for St. Mary's Church (1846-48) in Burlington, New Jersey of 1846-48. The massive stone tower, with its corner buttressed, ogee-arched windows, and battlement crown, effectively dominates what was known to early Las Vegans as Zion Hill before houses were demonlished for NMHU expansion.
