This church is a typical New England church. A white clapboard rectangular building with its centered tower. The tower first section contains the working clock, rising to a look out and finally capped with a octagonal cupola.
On February 22, 1897, a town clock was installed in the steeple of the Meeting House. The clock was a gift from John T. Brown of Newburyport as a memorial to his wife. Dr. Jacob F. Spalding, popular community minister and physician, was in charge of the program and gave the address at the dedication of the clock.
