General note
St. Mark's church was built in 1822 and was dedicated to St. John the Evangelist. In 1869 the church was closed and the congregation moved to the new church built on Pine Street and re-dedicated to St. John. A splinter group of members of the congregation disagreed with this decision and appealed to open the first church. They were successful and the building was dedicated to St. Mark.
