Schweinfurth.","why_significant":"It was the last of Cleveland's great downtown churches to survive to the present day and is considered one of architect Charles F. Schweinfurth's finest works. It is also a commanding element of the Euclid Avenue streetscape. Its excellent construction, workmanship and maintenance keep its visual dominance strong.","narrative":"Trinity Cathedral sits at Euclid Avenue and East 22nd Street in downtown Cleveland, in the growing academic area around Cleveland State University. Built between 1901 and 1907 to designs by Charles F. Schweinfurth, it follows a cruciform plan and draws on the English Gothic of the Perpendicular Period, emphasizing vertical lines through buttresses, finials, ribbed wall planes and window mullions. A square crossing tower rises 137 feet. The exterior is buff Indiana limestone, while the interior pairs limestone with russet brick panels, carved stone reredos, canopied clergy stalls and English oak ceilings with panel vaulting. It was the last of the city's great downtown churches to survive and is regarded as among Schweinfurth's finest works. Its importance rests on its architecture and decorative arts, its quality of construction and upkeep, and its continuing presence on Euclid Avenue amid newer commercial and academic towers.","period_of_significance":"1901-1907","architect_builder":"Charles F.
