Marble Edifice

In 1878, T. M. Davidson donated enough marble from his quarry to construct the Marble Edifice, which served as town hall, courthouse, church, and school for Marble Springs. Originally, T. M. Davidson planned to donate marble for a separate town hall, but economic difficulties stemming from the 1893 Panic thwarted this plan. Old Joe and Billie Rose Cattering donated a new roof, replete with silver-plated gargoyles. However, the inscription to thank them was somehow lost before installation.

The school settled permanently1
into the Marble Edifice.

School
Randall Klaron taught from 1875 to 1890, and Zandra Miller taught from 1890 to 1932.

Church
Pastor Horner established the First Congregational Church here and preached on the first and third Sundays of each month from 1878 until 1931. The choir sang every Sunday without fail.

Town Hall
Council and court meetings were held here when needed.

The Ladies Aid Sewing Circle and Rescue Society met here every Tuesday evening.
