It was built in 1856, and is a one-story, rectangular, vernacular Greek Revival style frame building. It sits on a rubble limestone foundation and is sheathed in clapboard siding. The adjacent cemetery was established in 1818, and the earliest marked burials date to the 1840s. The congregation played a significant role in the settlement of African Americans in Orange County.
