History:
- This was the old Bridgewater Baptist parsonage. Although the land on which it stands was not conveyed until 1872, records indicate that Stephen Edgar March was born here in 1870, so clearly the parsonage was built before the trustees actually acquired the land. In 1889, the parsonage was sold to James Curll, a merchant, who later became the towns first Town Clerk from 1889-1925.
