Christ Episcopal Church was designed by the renowned Colonial architect Robert Smith of Philadelphia. One of five surviving Smith designed churches, it is one of his two frame churches. The structure is an excellent example of mid-eighteenth century Philadelphia Georgian architecture adapted to local building traditions.

The grants have helped fund structural stabilization and exterior restoration, including slate roof replacement, repointing and reinforcement of the stone foundation wall, repairs and replacement of the heavy timber frame (sills and floor joists) and repair and correction of the condition which caused the failure of the original Smith designed roof trusses.  The most recent (2006) grant will help restore five of the most severely deteriorated stained glass windows, including wood frame repair.
