Trinity Episcopal Cathedral, Episcopal cathedral in downtown Reno, United States.
Trinity Episcopal Cathedral is a religious building in downtown Reno built in Gothic Revival style with pointed arches and stained-glass windows. The tall spire rises above the surrounding area and dominates the street from multiple angles.
The Episcopal congregation formed in 1870 and first met in a schoolhouse; by 1873 it had bought that lot and in December 1875 completed its first church. The present site was purchased in the 1920s, when local architect Frederic DeLongchamps designed the new church. Its lower level was finished in 1929, and the upper church by John N. Tilton was completed in 1949.
The cathedral's 32-bell carillon was installed in the tower in 1972, and the Casavant Frères organ, Opus 3778, was dedicated in 1999 with 2,177 pipes, one of the largest instruments in Nevada. Trinity became the cathedral of the Diocese of Nevada in 2016.
The cathedral stands at the corner of West Second and North Virginia streets in downtown Reno, a short walk from the Truckee River. The 1972 carillon of 32 bells hangs in the tower, and the 1999 Casavant Frères organ, Opus 3778, with its 2,177 pipes, sits inside. Visitors enter at street level; the 1949 upper church rises above the 1929 lower level.
