This is one of Greenwood's early churches, built in 1907. It stands out for its simple vernacular design, with a high gable roof and simple entry hood. The building was occupied by the Church of the Brethren from its construction until the 1950s. Since that time it has been used primarily as a school, taking advantage of its large open interior. It was a dancing school, run by Lilyan Turner, in the 1950s-60s and later a karate school . It is currently the office of Anderson Architects.

| Appearance |
| This simple vernacular church has a tall front gable with simple two-over-two double hung sash. The entry is in the center of the main façade, with a simple gabled hood over a small porch with a newer railing. Cladding is narrow bevel siding. A water table runs at porch level. The porch has been slightly changed, with stairs on the north side only, rather than on both sides. North of the concrete steps, at ground level, are an entry to the daylight basement and four small basement windows. |
