History

The former Methodist parsonage was built at the 1870s, in the same time period as the second (present) Methodist - now Uniting - church. The original parsonage had been destroyed along with the original church in the devastating fire of 23 December 1874. It ceased use as a parsonage in 1982.^[2]

Description

The former parsonage is a two-storey, symmetrical three bay rendered brick house having steep gabled iron roof with a tall rendered chimney at each end. It features large windows paired on either side of a four-panelled front door with transome and side lights set within and arch. It has a two-storey verandah with cast iron balustrade and friezed columns paired on either side of the front door. French windows upstairs and typical timber picket fence.^[2]
