I do not remember any conversation of a “drain on the budget” or an attempt to “auction” or “resell” the Haish House. Rather, my home, the parsonage next to the church was being surrounded by a new education wing, that the Haish House served as tempoary housing for, during remodeling and the addition. The need arose for a second parsonage and off-street parking, as was the case for St. Marys, and the First Methodist Church. As First Lutheran’s work completed, said parsonage and parking was added on the Haish House property. The Haish House’s useful life had been extended eight years after Ms. Andersons death, as a staff residence and temporary parish hall. A good long legacy of some 35 years following Jacob Haish’s death. Thanks.
