You have probably passed Trinity Church in Copley Square scores of times, but have you ever thought of this building as being revolutionary? In this 2 part virtual series, explore with Boston By Foot how the building of Trinity Church in the mid-1870’s was indeed revolutionary and brought about a sea change in American architecture and the decoration of public buildings.


Wednesday, January 3rd: Trinity’s Architecture

The young, French-trained architect, Henry Hobson Richardson, threw aside the conventional and created a rational, honest, and monumental offering which became his signature style and became widely popular. Richardson drew inspiration from the 10th and 11th century Romanesque architecture of central France while at the same time remained focused on meeting the functional needs of the church and its new, Boston- born leader, Phillips Brooks.
