Share Our World: Trinity Church (Boston)
19 comments
While on a tour of the Boston Public Library the guide pointed out Trinity Church across the street and encouraged us to visit. I was so excited that it was open when I went. I purchased an audio tour and it was great!
This is an episcopal church that was built in 1872-1877. The architect was Henry Hobson Richardson and the style of architecture is Richardsonian Romanesque.
It is pretty cool that through Henry's ideas and vision a new style of architecture was created. One that incorporates 11th and 12th century southern French, Spanish and Italian Romanesque characteristics.
Stained Glass Windows
The church has some stunning stain glass windows.

Details
Here are some of the other details around the church.
This high alter with the ornate cross and stained glass windows behind it was wonderful.
A gorgeous church and I highly recommend visiting if you are in Copley Square.
