A single story structure, the church was built out of fieldstone in the Rustic style popularized in the 1930s by the National Park Service. It was built in 1939, and represents Bald Knob's best example of this style in an ecclesiastical structure. It has a gabled roof, with a project gabled entry vestibule, with a round window in the main gable above.[2] It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992.[1]
