This is among a collection of Bluffton photos that are extremely rare.
This shows the dismatling of the original parsonage of what is today the First United Methodist Church at the corner of Church Street and Jackson.
The house was built in 1874 at a cost of $2,000. The building to the left of the house is the original brick Methodist Episcopal Church. It was constructed in 1873 and razed in 1915 to make way for a larger building, which stands today.
The current church building takes up the space everything in this photo.
