Our own Nana got married here, back when it was a sacred place of worship for a congregation dating back to 1875. It was a lovely church and congregation, and had the most beautiful services for the deaf. Father Gray was Pastor back then.
From sunlight to darkness, what a change! Times change, we suppose, but at least the beautiful building has been saved for future generations! We hear it's virtually the same inside, with the addition of a stage. Now a popular nightspot, appropriately named.
From the Directory of Colorado State Register Properties:
The 1889 St. Mark’s Parish Church was designed by Denver architects Lang and Pugh. The exterior of the church is faced in buff Longmont sandstone and the interior is finished in rough-hewn native stone, paneled oak, and black ash trim. Its design is best described as Gothic, although a tower and turret at the front entry were removed in the early 1950s due to structural problems. In addition to religious services and ceremonies, the Parish also sponsored musical and dramatic performances that became popular social gatherings.
