Trinity Episcopal Church was built in 1882 on land formerly owned by Andrew Wolf, whose donation included an adjacent house for use as a rectory.

The parish employed local contractor Oscar W. Gilman to design the building and to arrange for its construction.

[2] Among the hallmarks of Gilman's design are a steep gabled roof, an apse, and buttresses.

The church is a fine example of the Late Gothic Revival style of architecture, due to elements such as its lancet windows of stained glass.

[1] As a longtime McArthur landmark,[2] it was seen as significant primarily in local history.
