Built in the 1840s in Westerville, Ohio, the Presbyterian Parsonage is a Greek Revival clergy house that originally served the Central College neighborhood when the area was a separate community centered around a short-lived Presbyterian college. The frame structure, now clad in aluminum siding, rises two stories beneath a multi-level gabled roof accented by two chimneys. Its façade displays the hallmarks of Greek Revival design: a centrally placed, trabeated main entrance flanked by sidelights, high-style pilasters, an entablature, and a frieze dividing both front and side elevations into three bays. The land was donated in 1841 by Timothy Lee, who platted Central College in 1849; the house was moved 100 feet eastward and reoriented in 1927. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980, it stands as part of a small multiple property submission of Central College buildings that document the neighborhood's local history.
