Trinity Church, at 89 Broadway opposite Wall Street, is the third building constructed for its Episcopal parish, designed by Richard Upjohn in the Gothic Revival style. The parish's first church, a single-story structure with a steeple facing the Hudson River, was built in 1698. Trinity parish also maintains St. Paul's Chapel in Lower Manhattan and the Chapel of St. Cornelius the Centurion on Governors Island, and Columbia University was founded on Trinity's grounds as King's College in 1754.
the style
Upjohn's Gothic Revival design gave the current, third Trinity Church its distinguished profile at Wall Street and Broadway, a style choice tied to the parish's long Anglican and Episcopal tradition.
