Thomas Palmerston Hetherington (1863-1926) built this house in 1903 after the original structure was destroyed by fire. It would later become the Codys United Baptist Parsonage about 1930 and would remain so until 2011, when the Baptist Church sold the house to a private owner.
The finances for building the new house were borrowed from Dr. Judson Hetherington (1866-1928). Judson took over the property as security for indebtedness. Times were hard and eventually the property came under full ownership of Judson Hetherington. The house was later sold in 1920 to Walker Alford Perry, who lived there with his wife Ethel Maude (Armstrong) until July, 1930. At that time, the house was sold and became the Codys United Baptist Parsonage. Frank Hetherington bought the land surrounding the parsonage. Photos: 1st Photo: Hetherington, Michael.
