cover, as well as in a vitrified texture, incapable of absorbing moisture. The color was also satisfactory in effect.


For the crockets, which relieved the dryness of the outline, it was found necessary to send to a distance also. Although not in themselves very large, they were beyond the size of articles usually undertaken by the Eastern potters, except the workers in fire-clay, which was unsuitable by its color; and arrange- ments were made with the Chicago Terra Cotta Company for their manufacture. Together with the crockets were ordered hip rolls for the octagonal roof of the main tower, and the square roofs of the western towers. This commission was suc- cessfully executed, and the crockets proved satisfactory incolor and effect. While this work was going on outside, the inte- rior finishing was pursued without interruption. The win- dows were glazed with common glass, bordered by patterns of colored glass, for temporary use only, it being hoped that most, if not all the windows, would ultimately be filled with memorial stained glass.


The Chapel room in the second story of the Chapel build- ing, is 47 feet by 63 feet 8 inches, with a vestibule added at the north-east corner, 12 feet by 23, these two rooms occupy- ing the whole superficial area of the building.


As soon as the building was enclosed, the negotiations for the decoration, which had been pending for some time, were concluded, and a definite contract was entered into with Mr. John La Farge, by which he not only undertook to design and supervise the work, but made himself responsible for the whole expenditure, purchasing the colors, employing all the subordinates, from the hardly less distinguished gentlemen who assisted him in his own special work, down to the little boy of all work, who ran the errands and stirred the barrels of color. This responsibility, formidable as it must seem to a professional man wholly unused to business affairs, was under- taken by Mr. La Farge, it is fair to say, much less from any hope of pecuniary profit, which he had little reason to expect,

than from a true artistic enthusiasm for a work so novel, and affording such an opportunity for the highest exercise of a painter's talents; and the task, so undertaken, was pursued with great self devotion to a most successful completion.


After the preliminary arrangements were made, Mr. La Farge, preferring the completeness and thoroughness of the work to his own pecuniary interest, decided to paint all the better part of the decoration, including of course the figures, with an encaustic medium, consisting of wax, melted with turpentine, alcohol, and Venice turpentine, in certain propor- tions, instead of mixing the colors with the ordinary distem- per medium of water and size.


The encaustic process is much more costly, but once done, . the colors protected by the wax are indestructible. Even water flowing over them, which would utterly obliterate a distem- per painting, scarcely affects the encaustic colors.


With the greatest exertion on the part of the artist, it was necessary to ask for an extension of the time allowed by the contract for finishing the decoration, and great as was the im- patience of the parish to take possession of their Church, after having been for four years in a manner homeless, the desired extension was kindly granted, and at the same time a further appropriation of money was made, particularly for the deco- ration of the roof, and for gilding certain portions of the work, changes which the artist thought desirable, but which were not included in the original contract. These modifica- tions were carried out, and at last the work, which had excited great interest among the public, was handed over to the Com- mittee.


As soon as the decoration was finished, the scaffoldings were removed; and the pews and chancel furniture, which were all made and ready to set up, were rapidly put in place. Meanwhile the organ was being fixed in position and tuned.


About the middle of the forenoon of February 1, 1877, the first timbers of the great stage, which had been in place

nearly two and a half years, were knocked away, and on the morning of Saturday, February 3, the whole had been re- moved. By the evening of February 8, everything was in readiness for the Consecration, which took place the follow- ing day.


In plan, the Church as it stands is a Latin cross, with a semi- circular apse added to the eastern arm. The arms of the cross . are short, in proportion to their width. In general, taking the square at the intersection of nave and transepts as a modulus, the total length of the auditorium is three squares, of which the chancel, including the apse, forms one, the square at the intersection another, and the nave a third, the transepts being each half a square. Over the square at the intersection stands the tower. The aisles would be very narrow for a Gothic Church, but are in character for the Romanesque, and are much more serviceable when thus reduced to passage-ways, than when their width compels their being occupied by pews. The clear-story is carried by an arcade of two arches only. Above the aisles a gallery is carried across the arches, which, from its position, was distinguished by the name of the "triforium" gallery, and serves as a passage to connect the three main gal- leries, one across either transept, and one across the west-end of the nave, over the vestibule. Both the west gallery and the two triforium galleries connect with the staircases which oc- cupy the western towers, and the transept galleries are also reached by special staircases, ascending, one from a north- eastern vestibule, which serves as entrance both from Hunt- ington Avenue directly and from the cloister communicating with the Chapel, and the other from a south-eastern vestibule entered from St. James Avenue. The robing room opens from the north-east vestibule, as well as from the chancel. The main western vestibule is 52 feet long, the width of the nave, with- out counting the lower story of the western towers, which virtually form a part of it, and increase its length to upwards

of 86 feet. In the middle of the west front is the main portal, and a secondary door opens into each of the towers, giving thus three entrances in the west front, and five double doors open from the western vestibule into the Church. The upper regions of the Church are reached by a winding stair in the north-eastern turret of the great tower, starting from the room over the north-east vestibule. This lands at the bell deck over the flat ceiling which closes the tower in the Church. The whole interior of the Church and Chapel is finished in black walnut, and all the vestibules in ash and oak.


The style of the Church may be characterized as a free . rendering of the French Romanesque, inclining particularly to the school that flourished in the eleventh century in Central . France, -the ancient Aquitaine,-which, secure, politically, on the one hand from the Norman pirates, and on the other from the Moorish invasions, as well as architecturally eman- cipated from the influence of the classical traditions and ex- amples which still ruled the southern provinces, developed in various forms a system of architecture of its own, differing from the classical manner in that, while it studied elegance, it was also constructional, and from the succeeding Gothic, in that, although constructional, it could sacrifice something of mechanical dexterity for the sake of grandeur and repose.


Among the branches of the Romanesque of Central France, nowhere were the peculiar characteristics of the style so strongly marked as in the peaceful, enlightened and isolated cities of Auvergne. The central tower, a reminiscence, perhaps, of the domes of Venice and Constantinople, was here fully developed, so that in many cases the tower became, as it were, the Church, and the composition took the outline of a pyr- amid, the apse, transepts, nave and chapels forming only the base to the obelisk of the tower.


In studying the problem presented by a building fronting on three streets, it appeared desirable that the tower should be central, thus belonging equally to each front, rather than put-

ting it on any corner, where, from at least one side, it would be nearly out of sight; and in carrying out this motive, it was plain that with the ordinary proportion of Church and tower, either the tower must be comparatively small, which would bring its supporting piers inconveniently into the midst of the congregation, or the tower being large, the rest of the Church must be magnified to inordinate proportions. For this dilemma the Auvergnat solution seemed perfectly adapted. Instead of the tower being an inconvenient and unnecessary addition to the Church, it was itself made the main feature. The struggle for precedence, which often takes place between a Church and its spire, was disposed of, by at once and completely subordi- nating nave, transepts, and apse, and grouping them about the tower as the central mass.


The two great figures on the western façade, the details of sculpture upon the transept ends, and the tympana of the doors and windows, still remain unfinished, and must be left for the future. But the distinguishing characteristics of a style are in- dependent of details ; especially is this the case in the Roman- esque, which in its treatment of masses, affords an inexhausti- ble source of study quite independent of its merits as a school of sculpture.


The Dimensions of the Church are as follows:

Extreme width across transepts to outside of walls 120 IO


Width of west front 92 10

The purpose of this list is to show approximately the service given the church by many citizens of Boston.


In 1737, Peter Luce and Thomas Greene, trustees, were asked by the trustees to "act as Wardens untill it shall be thought Proper by us to order Otherwise." There is no record of change until the proprietors meeting of April, 1739, when two "church wardens, first that was chosen," were elected, with thirteen vestrymen. t Records for 1775 are missing.

* During nearly the first century of Trinity Church history, the clerk, who was elected by the proprietors, agreeably to the rector, was a lay leader of the congregation in re- sponses. Between 18 12 and 1826, the choice of clerk was left to the rector and ward- ens and the records do not naine the clerks except in 1818. The office of the old- time clerk was combined with that of chorister, and then disappeared. The clerk then became a recording and corresponding officer. The wardens had acted as treasurers and sometimes attested the accuracy of records of meetings. At the close of the first cen- tury, a collector was appointed to get in dues, and then a treasurer took charge of church finances.
