Trinity Church (Warsaw, New York)

Trinity Church, also known as Trinity Episcopal Church, is an historic Episcopal church in Warsaw, Wyoming County, New York. The Carpenter Gothic style frame church was built in 1853-1854 and closely follows the plan and elevations of a country church published by Richard Upjohn (1802–1878) in his book Upjohn's Rural Architecture (1852).[2] Upjohn's connection with the design of the church has been confirmed by a letter dated December 30, 1853.[3]
