A rectory was completed in the 1860s behind the church facing Wayne Street. In 1890, a major project began to build a new rectory and a Parish House for church activities under the design of architects Wing and Mahurin. In 1920, the Parish House was expanded and refurbished to include a gymnasium. In 1956, the old Parish House and rectory were demolished and a new one built under a design by the architectural firm of A. M. Strauss. In 2015, a new carport or porte couchere was constructed on the west side of the building, a long with an addition that gave the church better handicap access to make it more compliant with the American Disabilities Act. Extensive restoration work occurred on the building from the 1970s through the 1990s. This work involved repairing the floor and shoring up the roof, which was in danger of collapse. Leaking around some of the gables revealed century-old charred timbers from an 1877 lightning strike.
