It features a low gable roof surmounted by a tower consisting of a belfry and slender spire.The Congregation was founded in 1825 to meet the growing need for a dedicated place of worship in the town of Oriskany Falls. The construction of the church was overseen by a committee of prominent community members, including John Thompson and William Adams. Architect James Monroe was commissioned to design the church, which was constructed in the Greek Revival architectural style. During the Civil War era, the Limestone Church became a hub of support for the war efforts. The congregation actively participated in fundraising initiatives and organized aid for soldiers and their families. The church provided solace and comfort to the community during this challenging period. Over the years, the Limestone Church has undergone modifications and preservation efforts to ensure its longevity. In the late 19th century, a rear addition was constructed to accommodate Sunday school classrooms and community gatherings. The church's interior was also enhanced with decorative elements, including stained glass windows and intricate woodwork. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.
