The church building is a single-story Carpenter Gothic structure, built in 1868-69 for a Methodist congregation established in 1805.

The adjacent parsonage, now a community center, is a vernacular Italianate house built in 1872, and has a large modern two-story brick addition at the rear.

[2] Greenwich was first exposed to Methodist preaching in 1787, when Samuel Q. Talbot began to circuit ride throughout southwestern Fairfield County.

The Greenwich Episcopal society was organized in 1805, and its first church was built on this property in 1844, on the location now occupied by the parsonage.

The congregation sought to execute a major update of the building in the 1920s, which failed due to an inability to raise the needed funding; the money that was raised was used to replace the slate roof and add copper gutters.
