The Kearns-St. Ann's Orphanage, at 430 East 2100 South in South Salt Lake, Utah, was built in 1890. It was designed by architect Carl M. Neuhausen. Later serving as Kearns-Saint Ann Catholic School, it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.[1] According to its NRHP nomination, the orphanage is significant partly for its architecture, with "modest decorative elements allud[ing] to Renaissance and Mannerist" styles, using Neuhausen's rare-for-Utah skills. And is important as representing "the important educational and religious contributions to Utah society of Bishop Lawrence Scanlan and Thomas and Jennie Kearns.[2]:4
