Trinity Methodist Church, Springfield, Mass.

[ca. 1930–1945]

Trinity Methodist Church is a dignified Gothic structure built in cathedral style and quadrangular in plan. Designed by Allen and Collins, it includes the church proper, a community house, gymnasium, swimming pool, playrooms and a well equipped auditorium. In the 100 foot tower hangs a carillon of 61 bells. The sanctuary of the church is lined with 24 stained glass memorial windows representing such diverse historic personages as Moses, Pasteur, Frances Willard, Briand, Lindbergh, and Kellogg, to illustrate the theme of The Light in The Life of Civilization. In the building is displayed a Good Will Batik, said to be the largest batik ever made in the United States depicting The Adoration of the Wise Men before the Infant Christ.
