The church building was originally the Congregational Church and was located across the street. When the Congregationalists decided to build a new church, the small group of Episcopalians purchased the building. It was moved across the street to its present location at 305 Clay Street by rolling the building on large logs. At least one of the logs can be seen in the cellar of the church. The building was established as the home of an Episcopal Church in 1879. The history of the building is detailed on an historical marker at the corner of the property.
· The Parish hall was donated by the Gibbs family in 1905. There is a plaque in the Parish Hall recognizing this gift. It is used by the parish for church functions and also by other community groups.
· Many of the art pieces inside the building have been made and/or donated by church members throughout the years.-
