Built in the 1820s and restyled in the 1860s, it is a distinctive work of Boston, Massachusetts architect Thomas Silloway.

It is a two-story wood-frame structure, with mostly clapboard siding and a front-facing gable roof.

In front of the main block is a projecting hip-roofed and flush-boarded vestibule area, from which a multi-stage square tower rises to a belfry and steeple.

The interior walls and ceiling of the main sanctuary are finished in pressed metal.

[2] The main body of the church was built about 1828–29, but most of the building's styling comes from a major renovation conducted 1867-70 from a design by Boston architect Thomas Silloway.
