Construction was announced in 1885. A quadrangle model was adopted to form the Cathedral Close. On one side was the Cathedral House, begun in 1915. On the second side was the Cathedral itself. On the third side was Atwood Hall, completed in 1931. The first services were held on December 25, 1920. In 1988, Trinity Cathedral was accepted as the Cathedral of the Episcopal Diocese of Arizona.
The church served as the base of many Episcopal missions to areas of the western United States.[1]
The Cathedral Organ, built by the Schantz Organ Company of Orville, Ohio, is a four manual 71 rank pipe organ. The Cathedral piano is a hand-crafted Bösendorfer concert grand from Vienna, Austria. The Cathedral's music program consists of three choirs; The Choristers (children's choir), the Cathedral Women’s Ensemble, and the Cathedral Choir.
Trinity Cathedral is home to the Cathedral Center for the Arts (CCA) - a non-profit organization that coordinates concerts hosted at Trinity Cathedral.
Located at the bottom floor of Cathedral House, the Olney Room art gallery contains rotating art exhibits each month sponsored by the Cathedral Center for the Arts. The gallery is one of the sites along the First Friday art walk in downtown Phoenix.[2]
