caption_attribution_description: English: Front and southern side of the former Precious Blood Catholic School (now a VFW post), located along Maple Street in Chickasaw, Ohio, United States. Built in 1907, the school was historically part of a complex of building related to the Precious Blood Catholic Church; the school and the parish rectory, located on the opposite side of Maple, have been added to the National Register of Historic Places as a part of the Cross-Tipped Churches of Ohio Thematic Resources.
context_page_description: Precious Blood Catholic Church is a Roman Catholic parish in Chickasaw, Ohio, United States. Erected in 1903 and still an active parish, the church historically owned two buildings constructed in its early years that have been designated as historic sites.
context_section_description: The Precious Blood School is a two-story brick structure that is supported by a foundation of ashlar. Built in the Italianate style by the DeCurtins brothers, it features a central square bell tower that rises above the rest of the building. Individuals enter the building through double doors that are topped by an elliptical fanlight.
  Late in the 1950s, the Ohio General Assembly enacted a law that provided for free high school education for all Ohio students. Because of this law, Chickasaw's public school system merged with that of the surrounding Marion Township, and the parish school closed. The parish has since sold the building; it is owned by a local organization of the Veterans of Foreign Wars.
