Holy Trinity, Nashville, is one of the purest examples of classic 19th century Gothic architecture in the South. The building is located on a small triangular lot at the corner of High Street (now Sixth Avenue, South) and Ewing Avenue. Mr. M. W. Wetmore donated the property in 1851. On May 7, 1852, the cornerstone was laid by The Right Reverend James Hervey Otey, first Episcopal bishop of Tennessee. In 1853, the building was finished, except for the tower, which was completed in 1887. The consecration took place on May 27, 1888. Architect from the firm of Willis and Dudley of New York chose the English village church design for the building.
