The church was the first "Stundist" church built in North America. It has a hipped roof that is similar in design to the roofs of pioneer homes built by Ukrainian immigrants to the upper Great Plains.[2]

The building was moved in 1936 to its current location.[2] It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987.[1]
