The meeting house is a rectangular wood frame structure, sheathed in clapboards, and resting in a granite foundation. It has a low single-stage square tower with a shallow pyramidal roof, with spirelets at its corners. Underwent addition remodeling in 1825 and 1857.
Originally built in 1816 for religious purposes and to provide a location for town meetings. In 1978 the Middle Intervale Meeting House Society was organized for the express purpose of preserving the church.
