In 1914, the Orenco Presbyterian Church built this residence (known affectionately as “the Manse”) to house the congregation's minister. The church paid $3,500 in cash and borrowed an additional $1,500 for its construction.
The one and one-half story Craftsman Bungalow features shed dormers on the front and rear elevations and also a brick chimney with two 12-paned sidelights. The projecting eaves are supported by exposed rafters with purlins and knee braces at the gable ends. Additionally, the front porch boasts a bell-cast roof, which is supported by boxed posts.
This home's interior is more formal than many Orenco residences. The floor plan includes a formal entry hall and stairway.
