It reflects the history of the McCartyville parish, which got its own church in 1882 after early settlers chose to have neighboring St. Patrick build the church. The form gives few details beyond the building's description and parish background.","narrative":"Built in 1911, this two-story brick rectory serves the Sacred Heart of Jesus Catholic Church in McCartyville, Shelby County, Ohio. Its style is recorded as Transitional - Sears, with a square plan, pyramid roof of asphalt, and a stone-and-block foundation over a basement. Details include a deep boxed cornice, wide stone lintels, lug sills, and a one-story veranda porch over a recessed doorway with cut glass sidelights. The porch rests on four large brick piers and has a stone-capped solid brick railing. A one-story wing extends to the rear. The building is part of a group of cross-tipped churches and related structures in western Ohio. Parish history notes that early settlers in McCartyville let neighboring St. Patrick build the church while McCartyville took the post office, and the parish did not have its own church until 1882. The Society of the Precious Blood served it until 1906, and diocesan priests have served it since. The rectory remains in use as a priest house.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Transitional - Sears","criteria":[],"status_note":"Exterior condition is listed as good; the building is still used as a priest house.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:53:12.686883-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_OH/79002874.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/79002874/ea9b01d379-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/79002874/ea9b01d379-1600.webp","licence":"Public domain","author":"Nyttend","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Sacred_Heart_Catholic_Church_at_McCartyville.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Nyttend</a>, Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Sacred_Heart_Catholic_Church_at_McCartyville.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/71986182","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sacred_Heart_Catholic_Church_(McCartyville,_Ohio)","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q7397124"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/ohio/shelby-county/sacred-heart-of-jesus-rectory-79002874/"}
