With the need for extensive repairs looming by 1901, it was decided to raze the building while incorporating the tower into a new structure. Architects Otto Uehling and George Griswold drew up plans for the present church building which cost $43,000 to construct. It is of Gothic design and built using red brick trimmed with limestone. The tower was also resurfaced in these materials. The church was one of the first steel-masonry structures in Milwaukee.
