Condition	Efforts by the Catholic Church to demolish the building were thankfully resisted, although sadly the campanile was demolished in 1983.

Inside the church is a rectangular hall with no aisles: it is lit diffusely through the ceiling, and has deep-reveal openings cut into the largely windowless brick sidewalls. Alongside the main church were two sacristies and an ele- gantly tall campanile that rose, slim and detached, to a height of 27.4 meters.
