Nice view of the original St. Mark's Schoolhouse that was located on the southeast corner of State Street and First South in downtown Salt Lake City (present site of the Federal Building). View shows St. Mark's School with a horse drawn cart out front. The cart's passenger is a young girl, a young boy stands behind the cart, and a woman is visible in the doorway of the school. St. Mark's School was founded in 1867 by the Episcopal Church, it was originally housed in a bowling alley (this was later the site of the Walker House), and then Independence Hall - this building was constructed to be the school in 1872 for a cost of $25,000. Later St. Mark's would join with Rowland Hall. The present-day Rowland-Hall campuses are a few blocks apart one in the 9th and 9th neighborhood (the Middle and Upper School) and the other just south of the University of Utah campus (the Lower School). Rare view.
