The Presbyterian church in this area dates back to missionaries sent in 1828. The first congregation was formed in 1832, but it split because of a national level denominational divide in the 1840s. The congregation divided into the First and Second Presbyterian churches and the Second congregation constructed this building which was completed in 1895. In 1914 the two halves of the denomination merged and Central Presbyterian was founded.The building is in the Romanesque style and constructed from rough faced limestone. The entrance tower originally had a conical roof, but it was modified to its current configuration after a fire in 1913. The education building, constructed in 1927, has Colonial Revival style architecture.
