On this site stood the stone residence of Peter Disbrow, designated by the Rye colonists as the "Rye Fort" when it was offered for protection from the Indian attack during "King Philip's War" of 1675.

Around 1728 the present frame (North) portion of the House was added, and for 140 years it served as an inn under two names, Frances Doughty's "Sign of the Sun" and later "Van Sicklin's"

In 1868-72 the Stone portion was replaced with the present South wing of the house to serve as the parsonage of the Methodist Episcopal Congregation.

Rye's oldest well may be seen along the driveway at the Northwest corner of the present church building, dedicated in 1910."
