"This present structure is not only the oldest church building, but also the oldest public building in Walton. The pine, hemlock and stones are from the Walton area and much of the labor was supplied by the early parishioners. In the late 1880’s the church was moved back some twenty feet to make room for a wider roadway. At that time, the box pews were replaced by the present oak ones and the many paned clear glass windows were replaced by stained glass. On July 5, 1961, fire destroyed the roof and much of the interior. The rebuilding resulted in the present mahogany paneling and trim, the beamed ceiling and the cathedral lanterns. "
