Amid controversy, the Catholic church was built in 1913 with stone hauled from nearby fields by parishioners.

When church membership outgrew the original structure, the congregation moved to a new facility in 1952.

Saint Elizabeth's Church is a small Gothic Revival church located one block east of the Tecumseh Downtown Historic District and across East Chicago Boulevard from the Dr. Samuel Catlin House.

The church has a symmetrical facade with a gable roof and a partly projecting central square tower with crenellated parapet.

Five more stained glass windows line each side, separated by simple buttresses.
