From 1909 until 1962 this home located at 508 Ridge Avenue served as the parsonage for the Norton Church. A former pastor, Rev Sumpter H. Austin who was pastor of the church from 1928 to 1929 wrote:
"On our arrival into Norton, we had the best reception we have received any place in all of my ministry. The good women had the parsonage 'spick and span.' Even the beds were made, and a hot steaming supper was on the table, we also found a food supply for a month already in the house. I tell you those Norton women are hard to beat."
