The Second St. Peter's German Evangelical Lutheran Church, then based at 374 East 141st Street, put up this parsonage in 1912 beside its new church at No. 435, both designed by Louis Allmendinger. The two-story-and-basement house stands on its own, its gray brick front trimmed in brownstone, limestone and terra cotta, with round-shouldered openings under drip moldings and stained-glass transoms over the parlor-story windows. A tall brownstone stoop with iron handrails rises to the door, and the fascia of the galvanized iron cornice carries a band of pointed arches.

A two-story brick extension was added to the back of the parsonage in 1939, according to Department of Buildings records. In 1981 the City of New York acquired the building, the same year it took over the lot of William O'Gorman's former house next door at No. 427.
