About the building: Designed by Colorado’s first licensed architect, the Trinity United Methodist Church sits at Broadway and 18th Street facing west towards Broadway. The building is stone, made mostly of gray Rhyolite, a porous volcanic stone that was quarried in Castle Rock. It is trimmed in sandstone from Utah. The front façade features a triple Gothic arch gabled entryway with tall gothic windows above. Other windows are also thin and tall and often grouped in threes, as many things are in this building, alluding to the significance of the churches namesake. A spire rises to a height of 181 feet at the southwest corner of the building. Two rose windows of twelve spokes face north and south, symbolizing the twelve apostles and twelve tribes of Israel.
Accessibility: Trinity United Methodist Church is an ADA accessible building.
