English: Trinity Church of Nunda, 25 East Street at North Church Street, Nunda, New York, August 2020. Built in 1917, this modestly-scaled, red-brick Gothic church was among the last buildings designed by Buffalo-based architect John Hopper Coxhead before being hired by the federal government, for whom he worked for the remainder of his career (first designing hangars, barracks and other facilities for the Army Air Corps, later hospitals for the Veterans' Administration). All the hallmarks of Coxhead's signature style are plainly in view here: cruciform floor plan with front and side gables; a stout, steepleless tower placed at the corner (the crenellation at the top is especially interesting, featuring battlements that are staggered in height), and cut-stone voussoirs at the top and sides of the pointed arches crowning each window. The building was originally home to the First Baptist Church of Nunda, whose history stretches back to 1819; fifty years later, the congregation merged with that of the First Presbyterian Church located diagonally across the street. Trinity Church today remains dually affiliated with the Presbyterian Church in America and the American Baptist Convention.
