Old Dutch Parsonage, Colonial religious building in Somerville, US.
The brick structure at 65 Washington Place displays traditional Flemish Bond architectural patterns with symmetrical windows and a gabled roof design.
Built in 1751 by local congregations, this residence housed Dutch Reformed ministers and moved from its original location to the current site in 1913.
The parsonage functioned as both a ministerial home and an educational center where Reverend John Frelinghuysen trained future religious leaders.
Visitors can access guided tours of the preserved interior, which maintains period-appropriate furnishings and architectural details from the 18th century.
Jacob Rutsen Hardenbergh, who resided in this parsonage, established Queens College, which later developed into Rutgers University.
