THROW BACK THURSDAY - TRINITY EPISCOPAL CATHEDRAL plus Class News
Built in the period 1884 – 1892 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1976, Trinity Episcopal Cathedral is a featured landmark of the Little Rock's Quapaw Quarter, a treasured historic district featuring constructions of the Victorian, Queen Anne, Colonial Revival, Georgian Revival, Greek Revival, Italianate, and Craftsman Styles.
Trinity Episcopal Cathedral is situated on a full city block bordered by 17th on the south, Spring on the west, 16th on the north, and Center on the east.
Constructed during the period 1884 - 1892, the main sanctuary of the Cathedral was designed in the Gothic Revival Style frequently used in English rural churches of the nineteenth century. At the time of its design, the Cathedral was very much an architectural statement which proclaimed the linkage of the American Episcopal Church with the English Anglican tradition.
Today, the Cathedral is part of Little Rock's vibrant downtown Quapaw Quarter, only a block away from the Governor's Mansion and not far from the busy streets of commercial Little Rock. However, when it was originally constructed, the Cathedral sat amongst fields and country cottages. Now it nestles amongst historic houses, many of which were constructed around the same time as the Cathedral, creating an historic ambience which encompasses several blocks.
The Right Reverend Christoph Keller and his wife are both graduates of Central!

Sad to report that Sarah Jane Hayes lost her battle after seven weeks in hospice. She passed away April 21.
Forgot to mention earlier that I heard from Linda McGrew. She is still living in Florida, doing OK although, like most of us, knowing we're past middle age now. Had to laugh as she described how her son, Ken, and grandchildren are making sure she doesn't leave the house during this virus situation. I bet lots of you are having that experience. My, my, how the worm turns!!!!
Seems like there was something or someone else I was going to tell you about. Maybe it'll come back to me by next week!!!! Or maybe I can find that post-it note with all the info that I was going to put somewhere handy! Sigh!
