Historical Information:

Adjacent to Second Baptist Church, parsonage was built at the same time; both were designed Rev. Jesse W. Miles and constructed with major assistance from church members. Rev. Miles lived here and led the church until about 1940, and it was used as the parsonage until about 1982. It is presently used as rental property by the church.
