Since its earliest years, St. Joseph's Church has been served by the Society of the Precious Blood. By the late 1880s, the original church building had become insufficient for the parish's needs.

The tower was modified in the 1940s by the replacement of its spire with a small domed belfry. Church architectural style-Late Gothic Revival. The rectory was completed in 1912, a Sears design, at a cost $6,000 plus extensive labor on the part of the parishioners. Posted to the National Register of Historic Places on July26, 1979.
