History and structure In 1883, French priest Auguste Vincente Eby took over the pastorship of the Catholic parish in Church Point, and decided to build a new church structure over the existing Jesuit chapel that was there before. Eby then built a home for himself in 1887.
As a presbytery, the building housed Church Point's priests for at least 100 years. The building is 40 ft. by 40 ft., made of bousillage and is surrounded on all sides by a wide porch.
