Trinity College (Collegiate): Trinity College Chapel
built 634 days ago
The Trinity College Chapel is one of the most attractive and cherished examples of traditional architecture in Canada, and a magnificent instrument for the human voice. Built in the modified perpendicular Gothic style, the main chapel extends 100 feet to the reredos and is 47 feet high at the vault bosses. Using only stone, brick and cement, the architects employed Italian stonemasons using ancient building methods; the only steel in the construction is in the hidden girders supporting the slate roof. The exterior walls are of sandstone.

The Great Organ in the Trinity College Chapel was installed in 1954 by the firm of Casavant Frères of Sainte-Hyacinthe, Québec, after a consultation which included the eminent musicians Dr. Healey Willan and Sir Ernest MacMillan. As experts will recognize, this was before the Organ Reform Movement swept across North America.
