It was built between 1842 and 1850, and is a one-story, vernacular Gothic Revival brick church building painted white. It features a stepped gable parapet, a half-octagonal apse which served as a vestry, and four tall window bays interspaced with slim buttresses.[4] It also contains a cemetery in the back yard and north side of the church.
