I found this material about my great grandfather who was rector at the St. Peter's Episcopal Church in Carson City Nevada.  It is in a document called Rectory "In 1900 it was reported in the St. Peter’s news sheet, The Parish Rubric, that “The rectory is in perfect condition now, thanks to the good women of the Guild. Aside from new carpets, upholstering and fresh paper, electric lights have been put in.” The first rector to occupy the refurbished house may have been the Reverend J. Fred Holmes, who served the parish from 1890 to 1892. Holmes was followed by J. W. Hyslop (1892-96) and James B. Eddie (beginning in 1896)."  The electronic version of the first photo thanks to my cousin Claire Leddy.
