The building was constructed in 1839 to serve as a Methodist church. [5] It filled that role for approximately 30 years, after which it fell into disuse. [5] In 1873, the building was purchased by the town of Rye for $1000, with an additional $2658 spent on renovations. [5] This included adding to the front of the building, along with moving the bell tower forward. [5] At some point, believed to be in the final quarter of the 19th century, the building was raised to add a ground-level story. [5] Further additions to the building were constructed by the town in 1890 and 1911. [5]
