This Federal-style house was built in 1847 as a rectory to provide a home for ministers / rectors of St. James Episcopal Church. It was built by Lancaster contractor Joshua W. Jack.
The building features pedimented dormers, window lintels with bull’s eye roundels, and a dentilled cornice. The pedimented entry with pilasters and fanlight is a ca. 1944 alteration.
The shutters are typical Federal-style configuration of white paneled shutters on the first floor, with louvered shutters, often painted green, on the second floor.
