This Gothic Revival church was built by Gruing Brothers Contractors of Knights Landing.

According to a 1956 edition of the Woodland Daily Democrat, "the Dunnigan of the days when the building was completed consisted of a butcher shop, a general store, a bank (of which the old vault still remains), a Chinese laundry, a hotel, barber shop, a resident physician's office occupied by Dr. William Rathbun, and a small number of homes."
