The Greek Revival structure was built as the Methodist Episcopal Church in 1841. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places wherein it states the "church has a meeting house form to which was added a monumental portico and Wren-inspired, two tier central tower. An elaborate weather vane sits atop the domed roof."
