This is one of the most beautiful Churches in our Province, I'll try and find a few more pics and videos of some of the others designed by Joseph Connolly.
The parish where I grew up; 1st. St. John's Evangelical Lutheran Church, Ellice Twp. (Seebach's Hill) 6 miles from where I now live. Since it's construction in 1937 (my Grandfather was chairman of the building committee BTW) the two towers needed frequent extensive repairs due to water damage and freezing and thawing (about every 15 years). The Gothic Revival battlements on the tops were removed last year, and replaced with rather "Norman" looking roofs...
Here is a fine video of Grace Episcopal Church in New York City which was constructed about the same time as Trinity Church, but with James Renwick as architect rather than Richard Upjohn. These two churches vied for the social cream of New York City society with Grace eventually winning when people moved out of the Wall Street area and uptown to Greenwich Village.
