The present Immanuel Episcopal Church was finished in Bellows Falls in Vermont in 1869 and was designed by the renowned Gothic revival architect Richard M. Upjohn.[1] The building's Gothic style would have been typical of 14th-century France. The multi-colored fish scale slate roof is typical of the Victorian Gothic style of architecture.[1]

One of the building's notable features is the buttressed and pinnacled bell tower that has an octagonal "lantern"-styled top. There is a Paul Revere bell hanging in the tower that hung in the original 1817 church that was on the same site.[1]

One famous interment in the cemetery next door is Hetty Green, the "Witch of Wall Street", who was the wealthiest woman in the world during her time.[2] Other notables burials include American Civil War generals Edwin H. Stoughton[3] and his younger brother Charles B. Stoughton.[4]
