Trinity Episcopal Church is a historic Episcopal church located at 203 Algoma Boulevard in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, a city on the western shore of Lake Winnebago. Trinity is in the Diocese of Fond du Lac, and the only Episcopal church in Oshkosh. The congregation first met in 1850, organizing as Trinity Episcopal Church in 1854[1]. The current church building, which was constructed in 1887, is an example of Richardsonian Romanesque architecture. Trinity was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1974[2].
Missionary priest Franklin R. Haff held the first Episcopal service in Oshkosh in 1850[1]. The parish was briefly organized as St. Peter's parish, then reorganized as Trinity Episcopal Church in 1854, with David W. Tolford serving as first rector. The first church building was a wooden structure built and consecrated in 1857, and located at Algoma Boulevard and Division street. In 1887, the original building was razed, and the current stone structure, a Richardsonian Romanesque design by architect William Waters, was built on the same site.[1]
