The present structure was originally built in 1825 and remodeled in 1877. It is a small one-story, three-bay by three-bay, gable-roofed, brick building in the Greek Revival style. Also on the property are a contributing privy and combination storage shed and refreshment stand, both built about 1900.
Adjacent to the church is the cemetery, used since the late-18th century.[3]
