History
Originating as a small building built by Civil War prisoners of war for religious services in 1864, Saint Mark's Church was built in 1866, after the prisoner of war camp was closed and all buildings sold. It opened for services in 1867 and continued until 1918, when it merged with Saint Alban's Church and the Church of the Transfiguration, retaining the name, Saint Mark's Church. In 1959, the Church closed its doors.
