Text

This is a photograph of the former Methodist Episcopal Parsonage in Glassboro, NJ. The building is located at 68 North Main Street at the following coordinates (39.704881, -75.111187)

The parsonage was built in 1901 at a total cost of $3,700. It contained two living rooms, one of which was frequently used for church mettings. The structure includes an interesting roof design with overhanging cornices and extensive porches .on the west and north side of the structure. The tower to the left was octagonal and rose 15 feet above the ceiling. There were four entrances and 36 windows. All of the rooms inside were considered large and the ceilings were approximately 9 feet on the first and second floors. The structure remained a parsonage until 1955. It was later used to house a college fraternity.
