Trinity Episcopal Church - Staunton

Last Saturday afternoon we had the pleasure of meeting another Flickr friend, tcpix, and spending a few hours with him in Staunton, a very pretty Shenandoah Valley city; thanks, Tim, for an enjoyable afternoon. Walking tours of Staunton (ignore the u, it's pronounced Stanton) take the visitor past many beautiful and interesting older buildings, including both residential areas and the vibrant downtown area. Trinity Episcopal Church is on West Beverley Street, one of the main streets through downtown. The church was established in 1746; the Gothic Revival-style building in the photo is the third for the parish; built in 1855, it was enlarged later in the 19th century and updated at later dates. In 1907, the interior was completely redone; 12 of the many stained glass windows were made by the Tiffany Studios, so this church comes close to the 15 Tiffany windows in Petersburg's Blandford Church (photo posted March 8). We were not able to see the inside of the church, but such tours are possible. The Virginia General Assembly (state legislature) met here near the end of the Revolutionary War, having left Richmond to flee British troops. Trinity Episcopal Church was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972 (#72001532).

Best when viewed large, in the light box.
