Trinity Episcopal Church was built in 1871 and added to in 1880 in the Stick/Eastlake Style design by the famous architect Richard M. Upjohn. In 1996, Trinity Church merged with St. Peter’s Church of Plymouth CT to become St. Peter's-Trinity Church.
The wooden church has a granite foundation. A set of steps leads up to the main double red door entrance which is covered with an ornate, projecting, triangular roof. Above the entrance is a large triple window topped with a star shaped window within a circle. A projecting cross gable roof has a ban elaborated decorated bargeboard over the window. The bargeboard has an array of four leaf designs. A pair of stained glass windows flank the entrance. The southwest side of the main block has a gable end with a projecting bargeboard.
