It was constructed as the parsonage of the First German Church of the Evangelical Association and was erected during the construction of the church next door. The first occupant was Rev. Mathias Hoehn and his family in 1883. Hoehn moved in when he assumed his pastorate that year. He served as pastor for three terms: 1858-59. 1871-73, and 1883-84. The last pastor to reside here was Rev. Charles P. Maas in 1923. The church records in 1923 describe the neighborhood as not too desirable as a place to rear a family. That year the pastor requested a house in the suburbs. The old parsonage served as a parish house with social meeting rooms and classrooms. It later served as the church custodians house. <br>The form and shape of this house has not changed since 1898. Sometime before that year the corner porch was added. The only other change has been the replacement of the porch post with a brick pier and the addition of asbestos siding in 1958. The house consists of two stories with a cross gable roof. The rear portion is in two parts: a one-and-a-half story section and a one-story section. The windows are the original two-over-two lights. <br>-From Indianapolis Historic Preservation Commission, Lockerbie Square Historic Area Preservation Plan, 1987
