St. David's Rectory

This home was built in 1910 for Annie (Watt) and James McClendon. St. David’s Episcopal Church owned the house from 1914-1975 as a rectory. The church gave the house as a retirement gift to the Rev. Charles sumners and his wife, Virginia. The couple first moved in after marrying in 1940. Sumners was a noted minister and community leader. After his 1977 death, Virginia continued to live here until she died in 2007. The modified four-square house was designed facing south, with a dormer over the porch, later replaced by an upper-level library. Features include leaded glass pane windows, a south, side entry porch with square wooden rails and corner posts, a stacked rock chimney, decorative brackets, and a side-gabled and hipped roofline.
