Architecture and history
The church is sited on a rise on the north side of Ellsworth's central business district, at the corner of Church and State Streets. It is a large wood-frame structure with Greek Revival styling. Its body is $2 1/2$ stories in height, and is topped at the front by a multi-stage tower: its first stage is square, housing a clock, and is topped by an octagonal belfry with an open balustrade. Above the belfry is a round section supporting an octagonal windows stage, above which the steeple rises to a weathervane. The front of the church has a projecting Greek temple front, with six fluted Doric columns supporting a triangular gabled pediment. The building's corners are pilasters. A wing extends from the rear northeast corner, apparently a replacement for another building that was on the site in an 1881 photo. A modern parish hall is attached to the northwest of the building via a passageway.

The Ellsworth congregation was organized in 1812, and its sanctuary was built in 1846 by Thomas Lord, a master builder from Blue Hill. The building is notable for surviving a 1933 fire which devastated much of Ellsworth's business district.
