Precious Blood Catholic Church

Precious Blood Catholic Church is a brick complex with a central square bell tower and Italianate design elements. The adjoining school building features two stories with a hip roof and wooden column veranda at its front entrance.

The parish was established in 1903 when about 50 families separated from St. Sebastian Church to form their own congregation in Chickasaw. The structures were built by the DeCurtins brothers in the following decades and gained National Register recognition in 1979.

The DeCurtins brothers constructed both the school and rectory buildings, which received National Register of Historic Places recognition in 1979.

The site includes multiple connected structures that are easy to view from the street and surrounding area. Walking around the grounds gives a clear sense of the overall layout and architectural design.

The school building features a two-story brick construction with specific architectural elements including a hip roof and front veranda with wooden columns.
