Trinity Episcopal Church, Ashland

Trinity Episcopal Church, Ashland

Trinity Episcopal Church stands as a venerable landmark in the heart of Ashland, with a rich history dating back to its construction between 1894 and 1895. Designed by local builder W. J. Schmidt, the church is a testament to the enduring legacy of Gothic Revival architecture, boasting notable features such as a steeply pitched gable roof, a pointed west window, and a south porch with a distinctive gable. As the oldest church in Ashland and the only 19th-century church still occupied by its original denomination, Trinity Episcopal Church holds a special place in the community's heritage.

The architectural significance of Trinity Church is complemented by its historical fixtures, including a brass altar cross donated in 1899 and a baptismal font crafted from white Lucindo marble by Ashland artisan Samuel Penniston around 1905. These cherished elements serve as tangible reminders of the church's enduring commitment to its faith and tradition. Beyond its role as a house of worship, Trinity Episcopal Church has fostered strong ties with the surrounding businesses and residential areas, serving as a venue for concerts, a gathering space for various community organizations, and a cherished partner of the Oregon Shakespeare Festival.
