Built in 1844–45, it is a little-altered example of a 19th-century Greek Revival church, which has retained nearly all of its original interior elements, as well as its exterior except for the steeple, lost to a lightning strike c. 1893.

Its main facade is three bays wide, with a recessed center entry framed by a pair of 20/20 sash windows.

The interior has retained much of its original finish, although pews have been removed or rearranged.

Opponents of this decision split from the congregation and decided to build a new structure here.

It was informally maintained by abutters until a significant restoration was begun in 1897 after the loss of the steeple.
