Trinity Episcopal Church is an historic Episcopal church located at 203 Algoma Boulevard in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, a city on the western shore of Lake Winnebago. Trinity is a parish in the Diocese of Fond du Lac, and the only Episcopal church in Oshkosh. The congregation first met in 1850, and organized as Trinity Episcopal Church in 1854[1]. The current church building was built in 1887, and is an example of Richardsonian Romanesque architecture. Trinity was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1974[2].
[edit] History
Missionary priest Franklin R. Haff held the first Episcopal service in Oshkosh in 1850[1]. The parish was briefly organized as St. Peter's parish, then reorganized as Trinity Episcopal Church in 1854, with David W. Tolford serving as first rector. The first church building was a wooden structure built and consecrated in 1857, and located at Algoma Boulevard and Division street. In 1887, the original building was razed. The current stone structure, a Richardsonian Romanesque design by architect William Waters, was built on the same site.[1]
