Trinity Church, Gothic Revival church in Lower Manhattan, United States
Trinity Church is a Gothic Revival house of worship at the corner of Wall Street and Broadway in Lower Manhattan, standing here since the mid-19th century. The interior displays colored glass windows, and the entrances are fitted with bronze doors that depict scenes from the Old and New Testaments.
The first church on this site was raised in the late 1600s during the colonial period. The present building arose in the mid-1840s as the third successor, after earlier structures were destroyed by fires and other circumstances.
The churchyard beside the building serves as the final resting place for figures from the nation's founding era, including one author of the Federalist Papers. Visitors walk among the weathered headstones and discover names from the early republic's history books.
The house of worship sits near several subway lines, with stations directly at Wall Street and Rector Street. Access is from Broadway, and the churchyard remains open for walks during daylight hours.
From 1846 to 1890, the structure at 86 meters (281 feet) was the tallest building in the city. The tower rose above all other structures in the rapidly growing cityscape and remained visible from far distances for decades.
