History

Trinity parish was founded on November 9, 1816, in the home of Phineas Shepherd. As the parish grew, a new wood-frame church was erected on the corner of St. Clair Avenue and Seneca Street (now West 3rd Street) and was consecrated in 1829. This was the first church building built within the village limits of Cleveland.^[2]

In 1846, to meet the needs of a growing parish, plans for a larger, centralized building just east of

traditions. Construction began on the cathedral in 1901 and it was officially consecrated on September 24, 1907.

In 2002, Trinity Commons was completed which provided additional program and office space for the cathedral and diocese. Central to the Trinity Commons is a central piazza used for informal gatherings after services and serves as the entry space for the cathedral. In addition to meeting and office space, the Commons hosts an art gallery, coffee shop, and restaurant.
