This present edifice was constructed in 1886 and was patterned after Stoke Poges Church, Buckinghamshire, England.

The ministry of St. Mark’s is historically linked with the settling and development of the frontier west. The church register records the burial service of the cavalrymen killed by Indians, the wedding of an acting governor, and use of the Parish Hall as a social and cultural center.

The Rev. George Rafter, Rector, was asked to “pray over” Tom Horn during his public hanging in November of 1903.

In August 1915, the wife and three daughters of the General John J. Pershing were buried with solemn military rites from this church. They lost their lives in a tragic fire at the Presidio, San Francisco. Hundreds of cavalry troops from Fort D. A. Russell participated in the burial procession.

On Sunday, Oct. 11, 1936, President and Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt worshipped here.
