It was built in 1853-1854 and has a stuccoed parish house added in 1925.","why_significant":"The church follows closely a country church design published by Richard Upjohn in Upjohn's Rural Architecture (1852). It is described as one of the best examples of rural Gothic ecclesiastical architecture associated with Upjohn, in excellent condition with few alterations. Upjohn's biographer singled it out as a complete illustration of the type.","narrative":"Trinity Protestant Episcopal Church sits on the south side of West Buffalo Street in Warsaw, New York. Built in 1853 and dedicated in June 1854, the frame church has board and batten siding, tall lancet windows, pointed arch doorways and a square bell tower topped by a shingled hexagonal spire. Its plan and elevations follow a country church design that Richard Upjohn published in Upjohn's Rural Architecture, meant to give parishes of limited means a correct Gothic church. The tower and vestry room sit on the opposite side from Upjohn's published drawing, but the interior trusses and some furnishings match it. Upjohn's great grandson and biographer cited the church as a complete illustration of the type. The parish began as a mission of Trinity Church in New York City and was incorporated in 1852. A parish house was added in 1925, and the sanctuary was redecorated in the 1950s.","period_of_significance":"1800-1899 (specific dates 1853-1854)","architect_builder":"Richard Upjohn","architectural_style":"Gothic Revival (Early English Gothic details; rural Gothic ecclesiastical)","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Listed as occupied, in excellent condition and altered; the form says it is in use as a religious property.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:50:39.134994-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NY/80002798.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/80002798/3bb9790188-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/80002798/3bb9790188-1600.webp","licence":"Public domain","author":"Pubdog (talk)","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Trinity_Church_Warsaw_NY_Oct_09.JPG\" rel=\"noopener\">Pubdog (talk)</a>, Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Trinity_Church_Warsaw_NY_Oct_09.JPG"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/75323356","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trinity_Church_(Warsaw,_New_York)","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q7842672"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/new-york/wyoming-county/trinity-church-80002798/"}
