The church at 6925 Transit Road sits on a large triangular lot, located on the east side of the street between Stanley Road and Dodge Road. Transit is a prominent north-south thoroughfare that runs the length of the Town of Clarence. The property is located in a high profile, mixed commercial area of the Swormville section of the Town of Clarence. This traditionally planned, front gabled, brick chapel is three bays wide by five bays deep and has a central front steeple housing the lower arched entrance. Elongated arched windows are set symmetrically in either side bay of the façade and are spaced regularly down either side elevation.
The parish at 6925 Transit Road is significant as a mid nineteenth century brick church. St. Mary’s Roman Catholic Church Society of Swormville is the oldest Catholic Church in the Town of Clarence. In 1849, the congregation built a frame church, rectory and school. The current site was purchased just before the Civil War, and the church was completed in 1865. A stone & brick rectory was built in 1873 and was used as a rectory, then convent. Another rectory was built in 1902. The present school was built in 1931.

The building at 7871 Transit Road is located on a deep, narrow 9.74 acre parcel on the east side of the street between Wolcott Road and Millersport Road. Transit is a prominent north-south thoroughfare that runs the length of the Town of Clarence. The property is located in a high profile, mixed commercial area of the Swormville section of the Town of Clarence. This 2-story, cross gabled, vernacular, frame, folk structure with popular period Italianate detail and wood clapboard siding has two cross blocks, each two bays by two bays, and is set on a cut stone foundation. A two story, likely historic, addition is to the rear, as is a later one story addition. A flat-roofed two-car garage is to the east, as is a period barn and large, modern, pole barn outbuildings. The fenestration is regular, with segmental arched enframements and modest additional detail.
The building at 7871 Transit Road is significant as a late nineteenth century, Italianate-influenced vernacular farm house.
