History

The Trinity Evangelical Church was founded in 1878, and the congregation first met in private homes. Two years later, they constructed a church at the corner of Howard and Grove St. They later sold this building, and for a time held services in the Seventh Day Adventist Church.[2] The Trinity Evangelical congregation constructed this church in 1929. The congregation later changed its name to the Trinity Missionary Church.[3]

As of 2017, the building houses the New Life Anglican Church.[4]

Description

The Trinity Evangelical Church is a 2-1/2 story Classical Revival brick structure with a single story polygonal entrance and a gable roof. The front facade has a central projecting feature containing a large multi-paned window in a round arch, and topped with four blind archways. This feature is repeated on the side facades. Additional windows along the side are multi-paned rectangular units.[3]
