From the Paper:
"Trinity Church of Boston: A Richardson MasterpieceTrinity Church of Copley Square in the Back Bay area of Boston was designed by architect H. H. Richardson and built between the years of 1874 and 1877 (Freeman 21). Richardson had been educated at Harvard, and after the Boston fire, he found that his Harvard connections brought him opportunities for architectural commissions. He had previously designed the New Brattle Square Church (now called First Baptist Church) in which he exercised a Romanesque Revival vocabulary into a personal design mode which was admired and imitated by contemporaries of Richardson (Miller & Morgan 36).
Granite was chosen for the major building material because of its strength. It was quarried from Dedham, Quincy, Westerly, Rhode Island, and the Maine coast (Southworth & Southworth 220)."
