The St. Mark's Parish Church in Denver, Colorado is a historic Episcopal church at 1160 Lincoln Street. It was built in 1889 and was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1975. [1]

It was designed by architects Lang & Pugh. Up to the early 1950s the church "boasted a castellated tower and turret at the front entry. Due to structural problems the upper story of the tower fell: the turret suffered extensive damage and was removed, with a buttress added in its place for support and aesthetic balance. The architects were Lang and Pugh. Lang was a celebrated architect of the eclectic style in Denver." [2]

The Central Congregational Church is a historic church on Central Square in Galesburg, Illinois. The church was built from 1897 to 1898 to serve Galesburg's newly united Congregational church. Galesburg's two congregational churches formed in the 1850s after separating from the town's Presbyterian church; the two churches united in 1895 after one church began to collapse during a service. Galesburg architect C.E. Gottschalk designed the church in the Richardsonian Romanesque style; his design features a bell tower with a pyramidal roof, numerous turrets, a 22-foot (6.7 m) wide stained glass rose window above the entrance, and detailed stonework. The brown sandstone used to construct the church was imported from Marquette, Michigan. The church's bell was formed from the bells used in the two Congregational churches before their union. In 1912, the church acquired an organ built by the M. P. Moller Company.
