On Green Street at the far side (W) of the Green stand eight houses that superficially appear to be of the same period and type. The oldest (about 1810) is now the Congregational Parsonage. It was once the home of John Slater, a founder, with his brother Samuel, of the town's textile business. The house has been used as a parsonage since about 1828. It has three old mantels, two Dutch ovens, and a winding staircase.

The house is in very good condition. No mention is made about the ell on the house, which would indicate that was added subsequently to the writing of the book.
