Trinity Church, Boston (Summer Street)

[2][3] When Boston's King's Chapel became overcrowded, some members of the congregation organized a new church beginning in 1728.

The interior was composed of an arch resting upon Corinthian pillars with handsomely carved and gilded capitals.

[4][5][6] George W. Brimmer designed the second Trinity Church building on Summer Street, completed in 1829.

One writer described it as a "massive temple of rough-hewn granite and ponderous square front tower"[7] The "Gothic Revival-style church served as a prototype for many of the earliest New England churches in the Gothic Revival style.

"[8] Ministers included George Washington Doane (1830–1833); Jonathan Wainwright (1833–1838); Manton Eastburn (1843–1869); Phillips Brooks (1869–1891).
