Built in 1857 in the Romanesque Revival style, it was originally home to Westminster Presbyterian Church. Spiritualists acquired the property after Westminster Presbyterian merged with another church circa 1900.[2]

The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2001.[1]

This building is not related to the current Westminster Presbyterian Church, at 222 Schoolhouse Lane, on the West side of Columbus.
