Regarding Trinity Episcopal Cathedral. Excerpt from the National Register nomination for the church, which was listed in 1974:
For the design of the building Bishop [Henry Washington] Lee had contacted one of the leading church architects in the country, Edward Tuckerman Potter of New York City. Potter, who produced several Victorian buildings during the period 1865-1875, studied under Richard Upjohn, a well-known promoter of the Gothic Revival.
The magnificent Trinity Cathedral was consecrated in mid-1873.

Building of the cathedral was spearheaded by The Right Reverend Henry Washington Lee, first Episcopal Bishop of Iowa. The cornerstone was laid in 1867, and the building was completed in 1873, when the structure was consecrated as Grace Cathedral. It was renamed Trinity Cathedral in 1910, when Grace Cathedral and Trinity Parish united.
