Badger served as Rector of St. John's Episcopal Church of Worthington from April 1st, 1892 through July 1902. The Old Episcopal Rectory was located on Worthington's Village Green, adjacent to St. John's Episcopal Church of Worthington at the time of this photograph.

The building was sold to the Worthington Historical Society in 1978 and moved to its present location at 50 W. New England Ave. It houses the Worthington Historical Society offices, Doll Museum and Gift Shop.
