History

The rectory was built for the Reverend Dr. Stephen Leinfelder, who was the youngest American to hold degrees in both philosophy and theology. It remained church property until it was sold in 1985, at which time it became a boarding house.[4] The building was sold again in 1991 and was converted into a bed and breakfast by the new owners, named The Rectory. The owners later closed the bed and breakfast, and the building is now their private residence.
