Arcadia caption text: The parish school of Saint Mark’s Episcopal Church opened in January 1850, only three months after the
church held its first service. Built on the western end of the church lot in the Tudor Gothic tradition after the designs
of John Notman, the parochial school served the underprivileged members of the community around 1625 Locust Street until the
eve of World War I. This view dated c. 1859 shows the L-shaped schoolhouse’s steep roofs and tower with battlements and cross.
