Description: 

Baptists are one of the four largest denominations in Yoknapatawpha, and the Baptist church appears in two fictions, but this parsonage - where the minister and his wife live, and where we assume she was when she wrote the letter to Emily's "relations" (126) - only appears in "A Rose for Emily." (Hightower and his wife live in the Presbyterian parsonage, until her death forces him to resign his pulpit.)
