[1] Ever since a 1794 visit to what was then called Watertown by Reverend Walter Clark Gardner, Episcopal residents of the area had been interested in forming a congregation of their own.

Trustees were elected later that year and planning began for the design of a church building.

The building process moved steadily, and the church's first service was held on Christmas Eve of that year.

It features a central projecting square tower surmounted by a wooden balustrade and an octagonal louvered belfry with steeple.
