It was built in 1844 by Scottish immigrant stonemasons, using a "snecked" ashlar stone finish that is rare in the state outside the immediate area.

It is a single-story structure, capped by a gabled roof and a two-stage square wood-frame tower with open belfry.

The walls of the building are built out of local fieldstone, finished in a style called "snecked ashlar", laid in courses that roughly alternate been larger stone blocks and flatter slabs.

The principal visible stylistic elements are in the tower, which has pilastered corners on both stages.
