Trinity Episcopal Church Complex stands at 335 Fourth Avenue in Mount Vernon, New York. The complex consists of the church, built in 1859, an old parish hall from 1892, a new parish hall from 1909 with a 1954 addition, and a rectory from 1893.

History
The church was designed by Henry Dudley and built in the Gothic Revival style. In the 1880s it was enlarged and substantially redecorated. The parish hall followed in 1892, and the rectory in 1893. A new parish hall was added in 1909 and extended in 1954.
The complex was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1997. The church closed in 2016.
What you see
The church is a one-story masonry structure. It has a steeply pitched, slate covered gable roof. Its Gothic Revival character comes from Henry Dudley’s design. The connected halls form an L-shaped plan with the church.
Cultural significance
The complex sits two blocks south of Saint Paul’s Church, its mother church. Its listing on the National Register of Historic Places recognises the architectural and historical interest of the group.
