St. Luke’s Episcopal Church was built in 1901 to replace the original building that was destroyed in the Great Fire of 1898. It is a small one-story, frame, rectangular chapel in a simplified Gothic style. The Gothic influences include the pointed windows and the use of stained glass. The original features, wooded moldings alter and brass cross, were recovered from the first chapel and are present today. It has a pair of unusual seven panel doors. After a 1929 visit, a church official noted that “the problem in Park City is distinctly social. The wretched church on the hill is never going to make an impression on that Godless town.” The church thrived until it closed in 1947 and was inactive until it reopened in 1964. In 1978, the exterior façade was restored and the interior modernized. Although a new chapel was built in Silver Springs, Sunday services are still conducted at 7:45 am. St. Luke’s is on the National Register of Historic Places.
