Trinity Church

Trinity Church is an Episcopal church in Thomaston featuring Gothic Revival architecture with board-and-batten wooden siding, ornate gable decorations, and a square tower capped by a pyramidal steeple. The building stands in a prominent central location surrounded by other historic structures including an opera house and library.

The church was designed by Richard M. Upjohn and built in two phases between 1871 and 1880, blending Gothic and Stick Style architectural elements. A significant merger occurred in 1996 when it joined with St. Peter's Church of Plymouth.

This place has long served as a gathering point for the local community and continues to function as a center for worship and community events. It remains deeply connected to the spiritual and social life of Thomaston residents.

The church sits in a central downtown location that is easy to walk to and locate on Main Street near other historic buildings. The exterior architectural details are best viewed from the street, where the full facade and tower are clearly visible.

The building displays exposed curved roof trusses visible from inside, which create a distinctive visual quality in the interior space. It represents the fifth and most extensive church design in a significant series by the architect Richard M. Upjohn.
