The building on the left is the warehouse for Spahn & Rose Lumber Co. and was constructed from lumber salvaged from the Congregational Church which stood on the same site. The house to the right was once the Congregational parsonage. The house was demolished soon after the photograph was taken and the lot used for stacking lumber and supplies." The Congregational church in Waverly was organized in 1865. The church was built in 1866; a larger one replaced it in 1897. By 1927 membership had declined to the point the church was closed.
