Trinity Episcopal Church
Trinity Episcopal Church has been called the best example of Gothic architecture west of the Mississippi River. With vaulted ceilings, stunning stained glass windows and ornate carvings, it is beyond compare in the region. Trinity was built before statehood with the expectation that there would be two Episcopal Dioceses in the state. As it happened, only one Diocese encompasses the entirety of the state but Trinity's grandeur is a jewel in Tulsa's crown.
