What is Blessed Trinity Church?
The Blessed Trinity Church is more than just one building. It's a group of three important buildings. These are the main church, a building that used to be a church and a school, and a house for the priest.
When Were the Buildings Built?
The church-school building was finished in 1907. The parish house, where the priest lives, was built a few years later in 1914. The main church building, which you see today, was completed in 1923.
What Makes the Church Special?
The main church building is very unique. It was designed to look like churches from the 12th century. This style is called Lombard-Romanesque architecture. Many people think it's one of the best examples of this style in the United States.
The church is built with special bricks that look like they're from medieval times. It also has a huge collection of colorful architectural terracotta decorations. Terracotta is a type of baked clay used for building and art.
A Historic Landmark
Because of its special history and architecture, the Blessed Trinity Church was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1979. This list includes important places across the country that are worth protecting.
