Trinity Episcopal Church faces the Plaza opposite the Cathedral Basilica. It stands on the site of the 1735 Spanish Bishop's House and the 1774 British Statehouse, and its walls may contain some of their foundation stones. It is the oldest Protestant church building in Florida and the first in the Gothic Revival style. Its spire had been added by 1843, when the parish could afford it. In 1905, a stained glass window by Louis Comfort Tiffany was added, and in 1903 the church was expanded to the west with a new entrance facing St. George Street. The 1831 church survives as the north transept and Chapel of St. Peter.
