Trinity College, Liberal arts college in Hartford, United States
Trinity College is a liberal arts college in Hartford, Connecticut, spreading over 100 acres and designed with Gothic Revival brick buildings from the 19th century. The central part of the campus displays a long row of interconnected structures in dark stone that house classrooms, residences and administrative offices.
The institution was founded in 1823 as Washington College and moved in 1872 from its original site on College Hill to the current location on Gallows Hill. Architect William Burges designed the central Gothic Revival structures that shaped the architectural character of the institution.
