The First Church Parsonage is a historic parsonage house at 160 Palisado Avenue in Windsor, Connecticut. It is a 2-1/2 story brick structure, three bays wide, with a front-facing gable roof. A full entablature extends around the sides and front of the house, just below the roof line, and forming an enclosed pediment in the gable end. The main entrance is sheltered by an early 20th-century Colonial Revival portico. The house was built in 1852 by the First Congregational Church as the first church-funded home of its minister, and is a good local example of transitional Greek Revival-Italianate styling.[2]

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.[1]
