Trinity Episcopal Cathedral

The cathedral was built in 1846 and replaced an earlier wooden structure from 1814. It is modeled after York Cathedral in England and is the oldest church building in Columbia, SC. Of special interest in the church are the baptismal font designed by the sculptor, Hiram Powers; the great trinity window over the front door and the Carrara marble altar.
Under the ancient oaks and magnolias of Trinity's Churchyard are buried some of South Carolina's most distinguished sons and daughters.
