A Presbytery beside the Parish Hall
The presbytery of the Catholic Chikaramachi Church stands against the east side of the parish hall: two storeys of timber over a basement (Agency for Cultural Affairs).
An inverted-L hipped pantile roof sends a small roof out to the east. The entrance is under a canopy toward the west of the north side, the clapboarded walls are painted, and a two-storey bay window on the east enlivens the exterior (Agency for Cultural Affairs).
Why It Was Registered
The Agency registered it for its contribution to the historic landscape, a presbytery whose bay window gives life to its exterior.
What to Look For
Look for the two-storey bay window on the east side (Agency for Cultural Affairs).
