    In mid-November 2025, I visited Trinity Church during a conference as it was only a 10 minute walk…read morefrom the hotel. This Episcopalian church is an American architectural gem and National Historical Landmark. You have to pay a $10 entrance fee to view the interior, but it's worth the expense if you enjoy history, art, or architecture. Alternatively, you can skip the interior and visit the Boston Public Library instead (which has no admission fee). Completed in 1877, Trinity Church is an architectural masterpiece of Henry Richardson who pioneered the "Richardsonian Romanesque" style of clay tile roofs, colorful interiors, and stone-faced exteriors with arches. You can see examples of this building design in Minneapolis, Detroit, Chicago, and Albany, NY. The interior has magnificent stained glass windows and a unique colorful design. One interesting fact from the Self-Guided tour booklet is that Boston's Back Bay was originally a tidal mud flat. So the heavy stone of Trinity Church rests on 4,500 wooden piles, which were pounded through 30 feet of gravel fill, silt, and clay.

    Trinity Church is stunningly beautiful on the outside and even more so on the interior. But more…read moreimportant, the clergy and congregants were kind and accepting of these visitors. When last in Boston, there were renovations being done to the interior. There were no tours or services at the time, but there were windows made available to look in and get a glimpse. I promised myself that when I returned to Boston, that I would visit the Church for a service. The service was beautiful and it was completely packed. I am afraid that during the service, I could not help but take in every detail of the interior. Of course, I didn't feel like I should take any photos at that time (my next visit). Take some time to visit this physical testimony built to God when you are in Boston.

    Old South Church - The Stage : Candlelight concert rock on strings

    I came here on a Friday night for a candlelight concert honoring Imagine Dragons and Coldplay. The…read morechurch is a short walk away from the train station and around the corner from Newbury Street. It seems like this building is multipurpose since there was a lecture taking place in one room, and the concert in the main sanctuary. The inside is super nice, with wooden pews, stained glass windows, and beautiful art all over including the ceiling. There are three sections of seating on the main floor - the center floor, and two small sets of pews on either side. There is balcony seating upstairs, but only on the sides. We sat on the right-side balcony, and it was still a great view. They did a good job of decorating the church in candles, especially the altar where the musicians are. The temperature inside was perfect as well as the acoustics. Since the concert started at 7:00 pm, for the first 15 ish minutes, the room still felt bright since the sun was coming in through the windows, but it slowly got darker throughout the night. I know they have bathrooms, but I personally did not use them. There were ushers helping people get to their seats which I thought made things run a lot smoother, especially for the latecomers.

    Though services were not being held at this Old South Church on this Sunday, the inviting sign "all…read moreare welcome" swept us in to see the chapel. There is a glowing simplicity to this sanctuary yet there are so many intricate details to take in from the architecture, to the windows, and organ (I love the window and organs). Not everything was available to see at the moment we were there, but they do have tours available. This beautiful historic landmark and spiritual edifice is worth the stop.
