Ezra Lockwood, The Parsonage (1798)
The Community Church Parsonage is difficult to date precisely. It is most likely a barn, one of several, built around the time Ebenezer Lockwood built his own house, 1758 or 59. It is believed that this barn served as Major Lockwood's home for a short time before he could rebuild the one across the way, which had been burned by the British. Judge Ezra Lockwood, son of Major Ebenezer, probably added onto the original section of this house when he married in 1798. He was Town Supervisor (1807-1819) and also Judge of the Court of Common Pleas. The original section of the house comprised one large room, a pantry under the stairs, and a sleeping loft. The large two-story addition is 19th century. The house later became another of Hiram Halle's renovations.
