Regarding Corinth Church Parsonage.

Excerpts from the Claremont High School Historic District Nomination Form:

A two story, three bay, weatherboarded and wood shingled, double pile Queen Anne house, the (former) Corinth Reformed Church Parsonage was built in 1895. It has a varied silhouette created by a central hip roofed block intersected by numerous gables and attached gables on the hip, an irregular plan developed by projecting and recessed wall planes, two interior chimneys, a tin shingle roof, and a wraparound porch...

The Corinth Reformed Church had this house built on land which they bought in

1894 from Kenneth C. Menzies, a prominent businessman, who had acquired most of the 200 block of Third Avenue. Originally it was built for the minister of the church who also served as president of Claremont Female College. After the college closed it was used as a parsonage until 1923 when it was sold to Dr. Ralston Carver who had it moved here.
