Lloyd of Detroit, with William Fish as master builder.","why_significant":"The nomination presents it as a fine example of early, traditional Gothic Revival design by Gordon W. Lloyd, an English-born Detroit architect. It also notes the work of master builder and stonecutter William Fish, whose firm built many Columbus buildings, few of which remain. The parish itself dates to 1817.","narrative":"Trinity Episcopal Church occupies the southeast corner of Third and Broad Streets in downtown Columbus. Built between 1866 and 1869 of rock-faced sandstone and limestone, it replaced an earlier stone church from 1834. Detroit architect Gordon W. Lloyd, English by birth, drew the plans, and William Fish, an English-born mason and stonecutter, served as master builder. The cruciform building has a corner tower with buttresses and pinnacles, steeply pitched slate roofs, and an interior marked by oak pews and hammerbeam trusses. A parish house by Howell and Thomas was added in 1909, and stained glass, a reredos and a large pipe organ were added over the following decades. The nomination describes the church as a fine, traditional example of Gothic Revival, reflecting Lloyd's training in English church design. It also records the parish's origins in 1817 and the role of Fish's firm in building much of nineteenth-century Columbus.","period_of_significance":"1866-1869","architect_builder":"Gordon W.
