St. Mark's Episcopal Cathedral (Minneapolis)

[1] In 1863 the original building was moved to the city center (4th Street and Hennepin Avenue) on a sled pulled by oxen.

[4] Today's St. Mark's, designed by architect Edwin Hawley Hewitt (who was a parishioner), was built in 1910 on Hennepin Avenue overlooking Loring Park.

The cornerstone was laid on November 15, 1908, and the Parish House was built first, with enough space to serve for worship while the actual church structure was being erected next to it.
