Inscription. This twice-moved building was once the parsonage of the Baptist Church. Constructed c1843 when the church moved from Catamount Mountain to the Village, it was originally located on Park Street. Subsequently it served as the dwelling house for numerous Baptist ministers. In 1907 it was sold for $150 on condition that it be taken off the lot to make way for a new parsonage. George Emerson moved the building to Fayette Street where it remained until 1950 when Fritz Petig sold the building on condition it be removed from his lot to make way for a new home. In April 1950 the old parsonage was brought to this site.
