Cathédrale américaine de Paris

The Episcopal church of the Holy Trinity was designed by the Gothic Revival architect George Edmund Street, and its cornerstone was laid in March 1881; after Street’s death that December, his son Arthur supervised the work. It was consecrated on Thanksgiving Day, 25 November 1886. Its forty-two windows were designed by James Bell, and the triptych above the high altar was painted between 1896 and 1907 by Edwin Austin Abbey. The photograph of 9 March 2025 looks toward the apse, where tall lancet windows, narrow and pointed, rise above the gilded high altar.
