The original church building was a log structure built in 1860 and named for one of its founders, Levi Blackburn. It was replaced in 1900 with a building erected on the current site, which was donated by Rev. Hamilton Blackburn. This building was replaced by the existing church in 1948. The building is brick veneer and has a front gable roof with a small steeple. The entry vestibule has a lower front gable roof that creates a front pavilion. Classical motifs include arch windows, quoins, and a soldier course watertable. The building is the home to the Todd United Methodist Church.
