Saint John's Congregational Church Parsonage

Completed in 1911, the parsonage of Springfield's St. John's Congregational Church served as the Parsonage/Parish Home for Working Girls, a large two-and-a-half story shingle-sided building consciously designed to house the pastor as well as board working girls and women in some 26 rooms arranged on four levels. Built by Edwin T. Davis & Sons for St. John's, a prominent African American congregation, it housed church offices, a boarders' parlor, dormitory rooms, and communal kitchen and dining spaces, and it is significant in the areas of architecture, ethnic heritage, and social history.
