Description 

Trinity is the mother church or Lutheranism in Milwaukee, its congregation having been organized in 1847. The fabric is a beautifully preserved example of Victorian Gothic design, and the woodwork on the interior is without question the most handsome in a Milwaukee church. -- Historic American Buildings Survey

A Fire on May 15, 2018 caused major damage to the structure, including the collapse of the entire roof and the shorter southern steeple. In early July 2018 the congregation said they would rebuild the church using the Walls of the Church.
