The brick church features three entrance doors, a rose window on the facade, and a central tympanum containing a polychrome mosaic of Our Lady.
The Church of Saint Alphonsus Liguori was constructed in 1859 under the direction of English architect George J. Wigley following Gothic Revival principles.
