1884: BEFORE THERE WAS A TRINITY CATHEDRAL

I would loved to have seen that beautiful old English style church that was once located on Academy Street in Trenton. As I have indicated in former posts, Trinity P.E. Church as seen above ultimately became Trenton's legendary Trinity Cathedral over on West State St. and Overlook Avenue.

1884: BEFORE IT WAS TRINITY CATHEDRAL

Here's an interesting article on the original Trinity P.E. church, once located on Academy Street in downtown Trenton, and ultimately moving out to West State Street and Overbrook Avenue in the western section of Trenton. Perhaps a parishioner of the current church can tell us if the Charles Roebling window was transferred to the cathedral.

Hey Tom, as always, I love your web posts. I just wanted to make a small correction on the location of Trinity Cathedral. It is located at the corner of West State Street and South Overbrook Avenue.

Keep up the good work.

1895: Trinity Cathedral: In the Beginning
