This land, granted 1680 to John Coming, is part of the glebe given in 1698 to the English Church by Mrs. Affra Coming. The provincial library established in 1698 was in St. Philip's Church Parsonage which stood on this site until 1858 when a girls' school, later named Memminger, was built thereon. The property was conveyed to St. Michael's Church in 1797 and by it to the City Board of School Commissioners in 1899.
