Barry House was the former minister’s residence adjacent to the United Methodist Church of Narberth, converted by Main Line reBuild into additional residential units as part of the broader Narberth Place development.
The History Behind Barry House
Barry House originally served as the residence for the minister of the United Methodist Church of Narberth, standing alongside the main church building. When the church property was acquired for conversion into Narberth Place, Barry House was converted alongside it, extending the development’s residential units beyond the main church structure.
Adaptive Reuse Strategy
As with the adjacent church conversion, the approach to Barry House centered on preserving the residence’s architectural character while reconfiguring the interior for modern residential use — consistent with Main Line reBuild’s approach across its portfolio of historic conversions in Narberth, Ardmore, and Gladwyne.
Why Adaptive Reuse Matters
Converting Barry House alongside the main church building allowed the full property — not just the church structure itself — to contribute additional residential units while maintaining the architectural relationship between the two buildings that had defined the property for decades.
Project Overview
Barry House is part of the broader Narberth Place development, Main Line reBuild’s conversion of the United Methodist Church of Narberth and its associated buildings into residential units. The property is located in Narberth, within walking distance of the town center and SEPTA Regional Rail station.
