Built in 1818 and remodeled in 1855, it is an excellent example of Greek Revival architecture, with extremely rare late 19th century stencilwork on its interior walls and ceiling.

A square tower rises, straddling the main roof and front section, with a clock in the first stage, which is topped by a low balustrade.

The portion of the entablature on the projecting section has a distinctive frieze, created in 1855 out of the doors of the building's original box pews.

[2] The church was built in 1818, and was originally more Federal in its appearance, based in part on plans published by Asher Benjamin.

It underwent a major renovation in 1855, when the pews were replaced, a platform built for the pulpit, and the side galleries were removed.
