It was built in 1844–1845, and is a small, one-story, gable-roofed limestone structure. It measures 42 feet, 6 inches, by 32 feet, 6 inches. The original vaulted ceiling and gable roof were destroyed during the American Civil War. The present gable roof was built in 1914.

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.[1]
