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.
Today, this building is known as "The Church", a nightclub, musical venue, and sushi bar.

"The Church Nightclub is a unique space that has an expansive range of appeal. Built in 1865, this former place of worship is now home to dance worshippers and gets pumping Thursday through Sunday. With high beamed Gothic architecture, stained glass windows and a state of the art sound system, this is a classic that draws the best international DJs to cutting edge talent weekly. The Church is an amazing venue for the senses and includes a Sushi Bar for a late night bite of mouthwatering sensation."
