It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on September 9, 1999.The church is an Italianate style. The building's simple design on both the interior and exterior has not been altered since its construction.

George Earle laid out the town of Hobart in 1848 on property that he owned near his saw and gristmill. To encourage development, he offered free land for community projects such as a railroad and congregations wishing to build churches with a resident minister and regular services. A group of Hobart citizens organized "a society founded on the principals taught and promulgated by the Unitarians, and for the public worship of God, also for the advancement of the principles of morality and the ultimate good of society in general," in 1848 with 48 members.
