Four young ladies of the Methodist Congregation – Fletcherina Waldeck, Amy Clarkson, Maud Brand and Frances Priscilla Pearse – laid the foundation stone for this house in 1900. The limestone was carted by horse and dray from local quarries, and the finished building opened by Mrs Isabella Waldeck in 1901. She was presented with a silver key by the ministry as a mark of appreciation for her gift of the land and her substantial financial contribution which cleared the debt incurred in the construction of the building. The manse is a good example of the style of its era, with its decorative quoining and gable treatments.
