Designed by architect H.H. Richardson, the church was completed in 1877 and is a prime example of the Richardsonian Romanesque style, influencing countless buildings across the United States.

The church's interior features murals by John La Farge, which were groundbreaking for their use of color and technique in the late 19th century.

Located in Copley Square, the church is part of the Back Bay Historic District, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Trinity Church is situated near the finish line of the Boston Marathon, making it a notable landmark for runners and spectators alike.
