Mainly built in 1914, it is a "massive structure built of quarry-faced, ashlar Tenino sandstone on a base of rough cut basalt". It was designed by prolific local architect William Swain.[2]

The original church on the site was a wood frame building built in 1898-99. In 1912 this building was moved to the back of the property and rotated 90 degrees. A larger stone church was built in front in 1914, and the original building was faced in the same quarry-faced stone to unify the entire composition."[2]
