Built between 1869 and 1905, Trinity Episcopal Church is historically and architecturally significant as a distinguished religious complex reflecting the growth of a major American city and new developments in the areas of art and architecture in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The complex is also significant as the site of a seminal program of opalescent glass and interior decoration by American master John Farge.
Begun in 1869 with the construction of the Gothic Revival style Christ Chapel, the complex became best known for its larger more prominent Victorian Gothic church built between 1884 and 1886. The chapel was designed by Arthur Gilman and the church by Cyrus Porter, modifying Gilman's earlier plans.
With the church complex located on Delaware Avenue, Buffalo's premier residential neighborhood at the turn of the century, it was the spiritual home of many of the city's most prominent citizens. Trinity began as the second oldest Episcopal congregation in the city, organized in 1836, and has consistently responded to the needs of the city's population with worship opportunities and social service.
