History and architectural features

Built in 1773, the Guinston United Presbyterian Church is a one-story, fieldstone building with minimal ornamentation. It features paneled semi-circular inserts above the doors and rounded arch windows.

It replaced an earlier log church which had been built in 1754. By 1867, that structure was used as a Sabbath School while a new sanctuary was built nearby. ^[2]
