Trinity Episcopal Cathedral

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 congregation began in 1870 and initially met in a schoolhouse before building the current structure in the early 20th century. The design reflects architectural trends of that period adapted to local conditions.

The large pipe organ fills the interior with sound during services and musical performances held throughout the year. It creates a distinctive audio experience that shapes how visitors encounter the sacred space.

The location near the river makes the cathedral easy to spot in downtown Reno from multiple viewpoints. The tall spire serves as a useful landmark for navigation in the city center.

The structure was built using poured concrete rather than traditional stone, making it an unusual example of Gothic Revival church construction. This technique allowed builders to achieve the style while using 20th-century materials and methods.
