It is a single-story brick building, covered by a gabled slate roof.

A gabled entry pavilion projects from the main (western) facade, and a square tower rises above it to an octagonal steeple.

The projecting pavilion has a fully pedimented gable above a pair of entrances, and is two bays wide, each bay consisting of a slightly recessed panel housing an entrance (set, like the windows, in a round-arch opening with a half-round transom) and a semi-oval window above.

[2] The church congregation was founded in 1822, and the present building was constructed in 1824, originally with a square belfry and plainer windows.

Despite a declining town population, the church experienced a resurgence of membership in the 1880s, at which time its steeple was added (built by the noted bridgewright Nicholas Powers), and its more elaborate stained glass windows were installed.
