It represents a major phase in the history of Toledo's oldest Episcopal congregation and is one of few remaining downtown buildings from that period.","narrative":"Trinity Episcopal Church is a limestone Gothic Revival church at 316 Adams Street in downtown Toledo, built between 1863 and 1866 to designs by architect C.C. Miller, with E.B. Hall and Company as contractors. Its form follows an English parish church: a single rectangular hall with a square corner tower, sandstone trim, buttresses, a slate gable roof and a large Gothic window above the entrance. Inside, oak hammerbeam arches span a large hall, and a Gothic arch frames the chancel. A brick parish house was added in 1875 and a compatible limestone addition in 1953. The church was recognized for its architecture and as the second home of Toledo's oldest Episcopal congregation. Construction began after $29,000 was raised by 1863, was slowed by war and inflation, and first services were held at Easter 1866. It is one of the few surviving downtown buildings of its era, and it still serves the downtown community.","period_of_significance":"1863-1866","architect_builder":"C.C. Miller (architect); E.B.
