| Description: | |||||
| The Marion Collegiate Institute was established in 1856 as a result of a community effort led by the Marion Baptist Church. In later years after the school district became centralized, the building was repurposed when it was determined that the school needed to expand. At that time the third story was removed and the remaining building became part of the new addition and used as an auditorium/gymnasium in 1939. | |||||
