The Saint Columba Parish House, a very attractive English Gothic Revival structure reminds us of the architectural skills that craftsmen in Northern Europe perfected by the 14th century. Built in 1913-1922 by architect Lancelot Sukert, also known for building the Scarab Club in Midtown Detroit. The Saint Columba Parish House is a fireproof structure of stone and brick construction. The first floor contains space for retail shops. The second floor was a large Sunday school room, a guild room, and a kitchenette. The third floor contains a large gymnasium with lockers and showers. The gymnasium was used for dancing and for banquets, with a large kitchen connected to it.
