use today, which is in the Greek revival style.
It is made of hand-hewn and hand -sawed timber cut on the grounds.
The structure is a single-story gable-roofed sanctuary and is
constructed with a post and timber frame and covered with wide
weatherboard, which was cut with slash saws.

The  church is one of the rare survivors of the antebellum church
structure in therural portion of West Tennessee. The front fagade
features the traditional pair of entrance doors - one for men and

windowpanes.
The church survives as the oldest Methodist Church building in
West Tennessee.
