The current meeting house was built in 1816 of local brick and slate when Nathaniel Thayer was minister.

[2] Architectural historian G. E. Kidder Smith has called it "one of the great federal style churches in the country.

The portico consists of three high openings with round-arch tops, which frame three entry doors (the central one taller) behind.

The tower section, whose interior houses the vestibule area, rises the full width of the portico to the height of the gable peak, where there is a cornice line, above which rises the tower, flanked by carved wooden fan designs.

An attic section decorated with swag drapery rises above the belfry, and is topped by a round dome and weathervane.
