St. Marks English Lutheran Church at 430 Washington Ave. and Elliott St. In 1875, a pastor came from Louisville to set up a Sunday School taught in English, at a time when all of the Lutheran congregations in Evansville used the German language. Growing from these efforts, St.Mark's Lutheran Church began its life as a congregation chartered in 1894. Originally known as St.Mark's English Lutheran Church, they were the first English speaking congregation in Evansville. Three church buildings were built on the corner of Washington Avenue and Elliott Street; the fine structure dedicated in 1915 still stands there. The excellent pipe organ installed in this building was paid for in part by a contribution from Andrew Carnegie. In 1965, St. Mark's moved into their new building at 2300 Washington. A fine pipe organ was also installed in this sanctuary, and refurbished for the centennial celebrations in 1994. (https://www.stmarksevansville.org/about-us)
