1895: TRENTON'S TRINITY CATHEDRAL:GENESIS

These two articles from the Gazette have been morphed into a single post which gives a very interesting insight into the austere beginnings of "All Saints"Church, which went on to become the home of Trenton's landmark Trinity Cathedral. A few years ago, I was one of the tour guides on the Trenton Contemporary Club's annual "Four Views of Trenton." I was privileged to include Trinity Cathedral as one of our visits. In a word, the Overbrook entrance to the old building was like a journey back in time. My father who immigrated from Great Britain in 1914. I had heard stories of the exquisite architecture of British country churches. As we sat in that original building off of Overbrook Avenue, I marveled at the exquisite wood carved framework and other details which were a matter typical of the craftsmanship one found in the Victorian era.

MANY THANKS TO JAY NEALY FOR SENDING ME A CORRECTION ON OVERBROOK AVENUE. I HAD ENTERED IT AS "OVERLOOK AVENUE."
