The former Tomhannock Methodist Episcopal church is architecturally significant under Criterion C as an intact and representative example of vernacular Greek Revival-style church design in rural Rensselaer County, New York. The church retains a highly intact and well-proportioned, if rather plain, exterior decorative scheme using brick, three types of stone excluding the slate roof, and wood. The interior retains much of the form and structure of the original construction period in 1845 with alterations carried out in 1871 and 1896. Repairs undertaken in 1927 introduced further superficial alterations. The original social rooms constructed in 1855 to the rear of the building were replaced ca.1980 with a two-story frame addition built partially on land acquired from the neighboring property on the east boundary. This section will soon house town offices and meeting rooms.
