The wood-frame building was constructed in 1839, and is a well-preserved example of rural vernacular Greek Revival architecture.

Its main facade has two entries, each of which is flanked by sidelight windows and framed by a moulded casing based on designs published by Asher Benjamin.

The gable end is an enclosed pediment, whose tympanum has a fan that screens an attic window.

The building has been little altered since its construction; the only significant modification has been the digging of a cellar in which to install a furnace, done c. 1899, and the repair of lightning-related damage.

It is fairly typical of many churches built across southern and central New Hampshire in the second quarter of the 19th century, a building spurt occasioned by state legislation mandating the separation of church and civic functions, passed in 1819.
