Henry Hobson Richardson, arguably the most acclaimed American architect of the 19th-century, designed and built Trinity Church. The building established Richardson’s reputation and the much-copied style named after him, "Richardsonian Romanesque." In 1885 architects voted Trinity the nation’s best building. Its reputation with the profession and public has remained unabated for 130 years.
