Marker text: TRINITY METHODIST CHURCH
Erected in 1860, this building housed Trinity Methodist Church until 1945 when the congregation moved to Henrico County. It was designed by noted Richmond architect Albert West, who was also a leading Methodist. The roots of the Trinity congregation date from 1790 when a small group of converts first met at the foot of Church Hill, marking the founding of organized Methodism in Richmond.
