Regarding Trinity Episcopal Cathedral. Excerpt from the National Register nomination for the church, which was listed in 1974:
Forthe 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.
