Little more than one week later, St. Sebastian's was destroyed by a fire (now seen as highly suspicious[4]), and parishioners were faced with the decision of rebuilding the church.

Soon after the parish was established in 1903, a wooden addition was built onto the church; the reworked building was painted and new windows installed by early July of that year.

As the parish's membership grew after World War II, the old building was strained to hold the increased number of worshippers, and plans were laid for a replacement structure.

This church is a brick structure built in the shape of a cross and equipped with a basement; its sanctuary has room for over four hundred worshippers.

[9] Built in the Italianate style by the DeCurtins brothers,[7] it features a central square bell tower that rises above the rest of the building.

[10] Like the school, the Precious Blood Rectory is a square, two-story brick structure built on an ashlar foundation.

Featuring more of a vernacular style of architecture, the house is topped with a hip roof that is pierced by dormer windows on all four sides.
