Regarding The Old Rectory. Excerpt from the Ohio Historic Inventory form on the property:
Significant as an excellent local example of the Greek Revival with full-pedimented gable. Also important for its association with the Episcopal church, a founding institution of Worthington. Moved in 1926. Relocated by Society in 1978 to save from threat of demolition for new library addition.
