[1] The congregation traces its origins to 1759, when Anglican services in what is present-day Brownsville were held by British troops establishing the Redstone Old Fort during the French and Indian War.

[3] Until the 1820s, Anglican worship took place quietly in private log churches along the National Pike amid anti-English prejudice.

[5] Christ Church's present building was designed in the Gothic Revival style and built of cut sandstone.

According to the National Register of Historic Places nomination form, "The former parsonage has a stone foundation, a shingles-clad gable roof with double chimneys and curtains at gable ends, and a center Greek Revival doorway surrounded by sidelights, transom and a large, flat, stone lintel."

Across the street is a stone parish hall built in 1873; it also has a steeply pitched slate roof and Gothic windows with an adjacent 1908 addition.
