Trinity Church

Trinity Church
The first Episcopal parish on the east side of the Cuyahoga River, it was founded in 1826. Its first church was located on St. Clair Avenue. In 1854, the parish moved into a new church on the south side of Superior Avenue near Bond (East Sixth) Street. While on this site, Trinity Church became Trinity Cathedral when in 1875 the Ohio Episcopal Diocese was formed and headquartered in Cleveland. The church remained on this site for more than fifty years, before the parish and diocese relocated to Euclid's Millionaires' Row in the last decade of the nineteenth century. The Superior Avenue property was sold in 1902 and the church (shown in this 1876 wood cut print) torn down in 1904. The site is now occupied by the Leader Building. | Creator: Cleveland State University, Michael Schwartz Library, Special Collections
