These "tin tabernacles" were popular in the late nineteenth / early twentieth centuries: the church was supplied in effect in kit form. Often they were the first building erected by a congregation and might be replaced by a more permanent structure: the "tin tabernacle" could then be sold on to another congregation who were just starting out. Woodside Baptist Church to the northwest is a brick structure that replaced a tin tabernacle around the turn of the 19th /20th centuries.
