Summary
The present church building, a board and batten stucture, was built in 1872 and received additions in 1889 and 1896. It is representative of an important group of churches influenced by the 1852 publication, Upjohn's Rural Architecture. Richard Upjohn's book contained drawings for modern wooden church buildings. Since his drawings were merely intended to offer general guidelines, many parishes, including Trinity Memorial, located in Crete, adapted or modified the designs as local conditions warranted.
