Marker Text:

This home was built in 1914 for the purpose of being used as a Parsonage for the pastors of the First United Methodist Church. It was first located on the west side of the 1100 block of Ave. A but in 1949 the church needed the property for church expansion, so the home was moved to its present location. (1986)
