Built in 1844, it is a prominent local example of Greek Revival architecture, and is the town's only surviving 19th-century public building.

It is a single-story wood-frame structure, with a gabled roof, clapboarded exterior, and stone foundation.

The main facade is symmetrical, with sash windows in the outer bays (including a pair at the gallery level), and a center entrance, framed by pilasters and a corniced entablature.

The sanctuary retains its original carved pulpit and minister's chair, and has a band of tulip stencilwork bordering the tops of the walls.

The society maintains the building as a meeting space and local history museum.
