Historic Sites of Manitoba: Holy Trinity Anglican Church (256 Smith Street, Winnipeg)

Erected in 1883-84 on the north side of Graham Avenue between Donald and Smith streets, to the designs of Winnipeg architect Charles H. Wheeler, this picturesque limestone structure is a fine example of the High Victorian Gothic style. It displays a creative interpretation of the cruciform plan and a lively use of motifs such as dormer clerestory windows, buttresses, finials and hammer beam ceiling. The irregular outline, with attached parish hall and bell tower, recalls English parish churches. This church is the fourth to serve the parish since its incorporation in 1868. Set within a landscaped churchyard, Holy Trinity is a landmark in the heart of Winnipeg. In 1990, a commemorative plaque was erected on its grounds by the Historic Sites and Monuments Board of Canada.
