The church is located on East Commerce Street, in an area of businesses and public buildings. It is on a corner lot bordering Hickory Street. There is not much information on the web other than a Chamber of Commerce Brochure and the lines in the NRHP nomination form. According to the sign out front, Mass is held Sunday morning at 8:00am.
From the Chamber of Commerce brochure:
"Completed in 1904, Saint Elizabeth Catholic Church consists of a one story Spanish Revival building with fourteen inch thick walls and a three story bell tower with a pyramidal roof. The beautiful, handmade, stained glass windows were shipped from Munich, Germany. The total cost of the church was about $10,000, a fortune at the turn of the century. The church now serves Butler, Conecuh and the southern part of Lowndes County."
