Saint Saviour's is set on the north side of Mt. Desert Street (Maine State Route 3) in the main village of Bar Harbor, a short way west of the . It is a large cruciform structure, built of fieldstone and capped at the crossing point by a square wood-frame tower with pyramidal roof. The long axis of the cross runs parallel to the street. To the north several additions, including a choir hall, bell carillon, and cloister area, join the church to the rectory, a large 2-1/2 story stone and wood-frame structure to the northwest. To the northeast of the church, near the cemetery located just to its east, is a modest gable-roofed receiving tomb built of granite blocks.
The main church building's appearance is a reflection of its history. The oldest portion, which now serves as the transepts of the present structure, was built in 1877-78 to designs by C. C. Haight, and was quickly judged inadequate for the large number of summer worshippers. In 1885-86 Rotch & Tilden designed a major expansion, which created the cruciform shape with an imposing tower. The choir room to the northeast was added in 1889-90, and the cloister and rectory (designs by Westray Ladd of Philadelphia) in 1890. A chapel at the western end (design by Baker and Dallett of Philadelphia) was added in 1901-02. The interior of the church is graced by twelve windows designed by the Tiffany Studio, installed between 1886 and 1907. The ten-bell carillon was added in 1938, representing the last major addition to the complex.
