All Saints' Rectory
|
| |
In its year of incorporation, 1898, All Saints’ Church was given a stone rectory designed by Thomas P. Lonsdale of Philadelphia. In 1912, the rectory was enlarged with the addition of a new kitchen, pantry, laundry and upper and lower porches. The architect was All Saints’ parishioner Edward T. Boggs, who also designed most of the mansions on Norristown’s DeKalb Street. The original rectory, the additions and the three lots were donated by Miss Elizabeth Swift. In 1964, the rectory was modernized by Miss Kathryn Levering. Today the rectory has a large living and dining room with an eat-in kitchen. There is also a study, powder room, mud room and a laundry room on the first floor. The second floor features two full baths, four bedrooms, including a master bedroom with access to a screened in porch. There are also two large rooms on the third floor which can serve as bedrooms or as a storage area. The rectory security system is part of the church’s monitored security system. The house has a full, unfinished basement area. The building itself has been well maintained over the years and is a lovely, spacious home for use by the rector and his/her family.
