The house was built in 1923 at 845 Chemeketa as the parsonage, or "manse," for the First Presbyterian Church. It was built during the pastorate of Rev. Ward Willis Long, who served the church in the period 1921-25, and he and his wife, Evangeline, and their baby daughter were the first to occupy it. With the expansion of the Capital Mall, the First Presbyterian Church relocated its sanctuary to land on the west side of the mall in 1958;
the manse was moved from the mall area in about 1960 ("100th Anniversary—First Presbyterian Church, Salem, Oregon, 1869-1969," a booklet published by the church).
