TALIAFERRO MEMORIAL BUILDING
256 EAST CHURCH STREET
DATE: 1923-1924
ARCHITECTS: Marsh & Saxelbye
BUILDERS: Gerbrich & Haugard
In 1923 Senator James P. Taliaferro
donated the funds to build this Sunday School building for St. John's
Episcopal Cathedral, in memory of his wife. Architects Marsh
& Saxelbye designed the building to be compatible with the English
and Gothic themes of the older St. John's Episcopal sanctuary. It
has Celtic crosses on the gables, buttresses, Tudor arches, and window
tracery, and is constructed of Indiana limestone. It is an
excellent design in its own right, as well as a fine complementary
structure to the main church building.
