Excerpt from the form about 702 South East Street (page 27):
The St. Stephen’s Episcopal Rectory, a late Federal-style house built about 1835 is probably the oldest extant residence on South East Street. The three-bay, side gabled house, has a standing-seam metal roof, 2/2 sash windows on the primary facade, a four-light transom and elliptical sidelights articulating the front door, and a simple pedimented porch with plain posts and spindles. The Reverend John Cole, the first occupant, resided in the rectory until 1868. The house, which served as rectory through the second half of the twentieth century, was renovated about 1850 when the rear service wing was added giving the house its L-shaped plan. The interior of the wood-frame house includes bull’s-eye corner blocks for both doors and windows and Greek Revival moldings. During the Civil War, town residents took refuge in the rectory’s deep stone cellar during occasional shellings of Culpeper.
