Reverend James Keith Parsonage, Colonial parsonage in West Bridgewater, Massachusetts.
The structure exhibits traditional Colonial Saltbox architecture with six original corner posts and elements from a 1678 addition to the main building.
Built in 1664, the parsonage served as residence for Reverend James Keith, who arrived from Scotland and became the first ordained minister of the town.
The building functions as a colonial home museum under the Old Bridgewater Historical Society, presenting educational programs about early American colonial life.
Located at 199 River Street, the parsonage opens for guided tours where visitors examine architectural details and artifacts from the 17th century.
Archaeological excavations in 2016 revealed intact features beneath the structure, including potential Native American artifacts and evidence of previous buildings.
