Built as the Mizpah mission of the Methodist Church in 1917, worship services were provided to the Italian community in their native language for the better part of a century.

... it was designed in the Romanesque Revival style popular for Methodist churches around the turn of the 20th century. Its central square tower with double-stepped buttresses was altered from its original construction by adding a gable roof. Modest decorative detailing is provided by Italianate arched windows capped by brick
