The rectory was the home of Hannibal Goodwin, priest and inventor.[4] Known as the Plume House, the building is considered one of the most endangered landmarks in the state.[5][6]

The Plume House, built in c.1710 and serves as rectory.

The parish was founded in 1849 and held its first services in the rectory on November 7. A few days later, construction began on the Gothic Revival church building, designed by Frank Wills, which was consecrated a year later. A parish hall was added in several phases later in the 19th century.[7]
