The present structure on the southwest corner of Washington Street and Trinity Avenue, designed by Walter T. Downing, a prominent architect of the day, dates from 1911, although the church was founded in 1854.

Viewing Trinity from the Northeast, you can see Gothic-style flying buttresses, the bell tower on the northwest corner of the building, and the "Trinity window" above the front door. The parking lot, free to folks attending Trinity functions is located on the south side of the building, with a right turn entrance off Washington Street just past the church.

Viewing Trinity from the Southeast, you can see the City of Atlanta government buildings across the street to the North.

Trinity's elaborately carved chancel and pews, which originally came from Germany, came from the previous building on Whitehall St. when the present structure was built in 1911. The 39-rank Austin organ was built in 1912 and underwent renovation in 1995.

Trinity's stained glass windows are made of opaque glass. These are the center windows on the east side of the church. From left to right, the windows contain symbols of the Apostle Paul, St. John Chrysostom, the Christian Trinity (three center windows), Martin Luther, and John Wesley.
