The building also played a role in the formation of the town, and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.

The location is prominently visible from a significant portion of Main Street, and the church is set on a low rise.

It is a single-story wood frame structure, with a gable roof, flushboarded front facade, and clapboarded sides and rear.

A multi-stage square tower rises above the front, with a clock set in the first stage, a belfry in the second, with a steeple above.

It was constructed between 1843 and 1847, with stylistic evidence suggesting it was designed by Brunswick architect Samuel Melcher.
