Methodist Parsonage on November 11, 2006
Designed by Hamilton Campbell and built by Methodist missionary Gustavus Hines in the fall of 1841, just after the Jason Lee House, the Methodist Parsonage was the second wood-frame building in Salem. It served as the home of many Methodist missionaries and circuit riders, including Reverend David Leslie. Its original location was on the north side of the Thomas Key Woolen Mill, where the water tower now stands.

As the mill expanded, the parsonage was moved a short distance to 1325 Ferry Street. It was later moved to its current location on the grounds of the Mission Mill Museum, near its original location. It was placed on the National Register of Historic Places on December 31, 1974.
