It served as a union church for multiple denominations for many years, and housed the annual town meetings until 1849.

The tower's square base includes a louvered upper section, and is capped by a cornice and balustrade.

There are two entrances in the projecting pavilion, framed by simple corner boards and topped by cornices, with small sash windows directly above.
