CHURCH.053.1Scope and Content
Constructed 1881. This site was owned by the Joseph Ball family for nearly 100 years. His widow's estate was finally settled in the late 1870s. Property tax records and deeds indicate that the purchaser, a stevedore, apparently built a typical example of an antebellum masonry single house with a pilastered, closed gable end and Tuscan-columned piazzas. It has served for many years as the parsonage for the First Baptist Church.
