The brick church building located at 445 N. Bever St., the southeast corner of N. Bever St. and Derr Ave., was built in 1868 by the congregation of the United Presbyterian Church of Wooster, Ohio at a cost of $14,000 on land valued at $2,000 that was donated to the church by Ephraim Quinby Jr. and his wife, Catherine Quinby. After the merger of the United Presbyterian Church of North America with The Presbyterian Church in the United States of America in 1958 the Wooster Presbytery, which included two others in Wooster, Westminister Presbyterian Church and the First Presbyterian Church, decided along with the few remaining members of The Bever Street United Presbyterian Church, Inc. in 1962 to disband the church. In November of 1962 the church building and property was sold to the Ohio Conference Association of Seventh Day Adventist Church which continues to operate at this location.
