It had six windows and two doors and a clay chimney, with a gallery at one gable; there was also a lean-to (appentif) kitchen with chimney.

#86 NOTRE DAME PLACE
named for Notre Dame de la Mobile, one of Mobile's first churches. During the early days of French Louisiana, the activities of the Catholic Church for this entire area were directed from Quebec but in 1722 the Western Company of France who held a charter for the development of this area and who had pledged to build churches in Louisiana divided the Province into three missionary districts with the area from the Mississippi to the Perdido Rivers in the Mobile district. (from page 132 of Hamilton's COLONIAL MOBILE: "Aniand was cure until 1742, and it was during his administration the entries are made in 1741 that the church, never having been dedicated and being completely rebuilt (toute a

neuve), received the benediction the day of the nativity of the 
Holy Virgin. On that account he dedicated it to the Holy 
Virgin by special commission sent him by Reverend Father 
Pierre, Capuchin, then vicar -general of Monseigneur of Que- 
bec, who ordained that the anniversary- should be celebrated 
every year. From that time the church is known as Notre 
Dame de la Mobile. 

Jean Franc^ois was cure of the Apalaches, and occasionally 
acted for Amand, and on December 23, 1743, he succeeds 
Amand as cure. Occasionally we have entries by Prosper, 
missionary of the Apalaches, and Seraphim, who even signs as 
cure quite frequently in 1744, but Jean Frangois acts oftenest. 

In 1744 begins another register, this time of forty-four pages 
and for baptisms alone, of the parish of Notre Dame de la 
Mobile. It is numbered, and each page initialed, with many 
flourishes, by Bobe Descloseaux, commissary ^ and controller 
of the marine, exercising the function of judge at Mobile. 
This book was to outlast the French regime. The companion 
death register was issued by Descloseaux in 1754, and its forty- 
eight pages were to suffice even through 1803."
