Built circa 1835, this house served as the home of the rectors at Trinity Episcopal Church from 1846 through 1956. It is located at the corner of Simkins and Wigfall Streets, just a block north of Main Street, and is surrounded by properties of Trinity Episcopal Church, First Baptist Church and the Edgefield County Historical Society.
