Marble Community Church, Episcopal church in Marble, Colorado
Marble Community Church is an Episcopal church building featuring Gothic architectural elements, including a prominent bell tower with a 500-pound bell and two symmetrical side chambers. The structure includes a fellowship hall that was added during renovations to expand its gathering capacity.
The building was originally constructed as St. John's Episcopal Chapel in Aspen in 1886 and relocated to Marble in 1908. The move was made possible through funding provided by the Episcopal Women's Guild.
The church welcomed multiple faith groups and served as a gathering place for the community during its active years. Visitors today can sense its role as a social center where different congregations found a shared home.
The building is located on State Street and is accessible to visitors in the town. It is advisable to check local information ahead of your visit, as access to the interior may vary depending on service schedules.
This structure stands as the sole example of Gothic architecture in Marble, a town otherwise known for its marble quarrying operations. The architectural style creates an interesting contrast with the town's industrial heritage.
