This church was right near my hotel. It looks quite old. It said it was built for the survivors of a war. It was interesting to see an old building.

We went to this English-Gothic-style cathedral early on a weekday morning and were the only visitors there. The church stands on a Downtown Pittsburgh hillside, which is the site of a historic cemetery. I thought the building's red entrance doors clashed a bit with the somber gray exterior. But inside, I was immediately impressed by the quiet, austere beauty. Details include pointed arches, stone columns, a carved stone pulpit and beautiful stained-glass windows. Though it has earlier roots, the present church opened here in 1872 and has been well maintained.I think the most impressive thing about this cathedral is the remains of the adjacent cemetery. It holds the oldest marked graves West of the East Coast. Those in the burial grounds include Native American leaders and French, English and American colonists. Information signs gave details on notables here, such as Red Pole, principal Chief of the Shawnee Indian Nation; Captain Nathaniel Irish, a Revolutionary War officer; and Dr. Nathaniel Bedford, Pittsburgh's first physician and a founder of the University of Pittsburgh. The small cemetery has been carefully tended and offers insight into the city's early history.Trinity Episcopal Cathedral stands next to the First Presbyterian Church of Pittsburgh. The cemetery is located between the two buildings.
