Trinity Episcopal Church

Trinity Episcopal Church at 317 Franklin Street is one of Clarksville's finest pieces of 19th-century architecture — a Gothic Revival building in local limestone with pointed arched windows and a corner bell tower. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The church is an active congregation and the interior is typically open during weekdays.

The surrounding Franklin Street area has several other Victorian-era buildings and is the most architecturally coherent block in the downtown historic district. The church, the First Presbyterian Church on Main Street, and the old Catholic church on Franklin Street together give a good sense of Clarksville's prosperous mid-19th century character.

A story
Trinity Episcopal is one of the oldest congregations in Tennessee, established in 1829. During the Union occupation of Clarksville in the Civil War, the church was used as a hospital and barracks by federal troops. The congregation scattered but reconvened after the war and rebuilt the church in its current Gothic Revival form, completed in 1873.
