TRINITY ANGLICAN CHURCH Designed by American architect Stephen C. Earle and built in 1878, this church is a fine example of the Gothic Revival style as interpreted in wood. In the spirit of British parish churches of the Middle Ages, the exterior composition clearly defines the principal interior spaces of nave, chancel and side aisles. The attractive pattern of vertical and horizontal boards reflects late-19th-century American practice and is intended to emphasize the church's frame construction. Trinity Anglican replaced the original church built by Loyalist settlers on this site in 1788.

L'ÉGLISE ANGLICANE TRINITY Cette église, dessinée par l'architecte américain Stephen C. Earle et construite en 1878, offre un bel exemple de bâtiment en bois de style néo-gothique. Comme celle des églises paroissiales britanniques du Moyen Âge, sa composition extérieure définit clairement les principaux espaces intérieurs : nef, chœur et bas-côtés. Le joli motif de planches horizontales et verticales, d'usage courant aux États-Unis à la fin du XIXe siècle, vise à souligner la structure en bois de l'église. Celle-ci a remplacé une église antérieure bâtie sur le même emplacement par des colons loyalistes en 1788.
