For thirty years after the arrival of the first pastor, there was no property that would serve as a residence for the minister and his family. During the pastorate of The Reverend Charles Whittier, a dwelling was erected to provide a parsonage. The construction began on June 27, 1862 and the raising was July 16. By the following spring, the Whittier family was in residence there. TEH cost, $ 2,583.83, was shared by John Allan, who gave $500 in memory of his wife Lydia (Kilby) and John Kilby, who donated the remaining $2, 083.83 and an acre of land. The parsonage was occupied by the Whittiers and the growing family of seven sons until 1891, and from the next forty years by other members of the clergy and their families. From 1932 it was occupied intermittently, until it was sold into private hands in 1967.
