This church was originally located on Ivy Road at the site of the Mount Pleasant Cemetery.

The sanctuary of the Hickory Withe Presbyterian Church is a simple Carpenter Gothic structure in the Gablefront house style.

Changes to the original sanctuary include closing off the original "slave gallery," which was provided during the early American era when slave-owners were expected to bring their slaves to church in order that they may be converted; replacement installation of stained-glass windows; installation of a raked sub-floor; and replacement of the shingled roof with a metal roof.

Nearing condemned status in the 1980s, the sanctuary foundation was fully repaired and the building returned to sound condition.
