The land upon which it was built, including the graveyard, was given to the church by William Darby, its first ruling elder.  In 1759, the house was much enlarged, covered with cedar shingles both roof and sides, and so finished as to afford agreeable accommodations to the rapidly increasing congregation. This house continued in existence until the winter of 1816-1817, when it took fire and was burned to the ground.
