| Additional Information: | The Trinity Episcopalian parish was organized in 1887 and constructed their first non-extant, wood frame church at the corner of Church Street and Milwaukee Avenue in 1889. In 1939, a rectory was constructed at 7828 Milwaukee Avenue, adjacent to the church. In 1950, a new contemporary style masonry church was constructed on the same site as the first Trinity Episcopal Church. The church has undergone a series of additions and alterations including the addition of a Parish Hall in 1955, and a chapel, part of the original plans, was completed in 1964. New windows, roof structure, and pipe organs were added in 1971, and a large-scale renovation in 1993 altered much of the interior and added a library. |
