Trinity Church

After its former site on Summer Street burned in the Great Boston Fire of 1872, the current church complex was erected under the direction of Rector Phillips Brooks (1835–1893), one of the best-known and most charismatic preachers of his time. The Trinity Church was built in 1872-1877 by the design of the architect Henry Hobson Richardson in the version of the Neo-Romanesque style, which then received his name. The main building materials were granite from Monson and sandstone from Longmedow. The frescoes in the church were made by artist John La Farge.
