The chancel and the parish house were designed by Minnesota architects Purcell, Feick and Elmslie in 1909. The nave of the church was designed by Purcell and Elmslie six years later. Their designs reflect their "use of English antecedents."

The cathedral has stained glass windows that a church pamphlet describes as 'among some of the finest in the country in richness and ecclesiastical style'. Six windows were designed by Heaton, Butler, and Bayne of London; others were supplied by Wippell Company of Exeter, England.{{cite web|url={{NRHP url|id=83003377}}|title=State Historical Society of Wisconsin Intensive Survey: Christ Church Cathedral and Parish House |publisher=National Park Service |author=M.
