What we know
'Few ministers ever resided here because the congregation was too small to support a full-time' preacher (PLHS walking tour, S-0235). Lavelett: 'The first parsonage was just north of the church where the Columbine Antique store was in 1974', and a later minister, Rev. Hassdedt, did most of the work on a new one (S-0011, p. 83). See Monument Presbyterian Church.
