Trinity Cathedral (Pittsburgh)
Trinity Cathedral is an Episcopal Church in downtown Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and is the cathedral for the Episcopal Diocese of Pittsburgh.〔http://www.episcopalpgh.org/wp-content/uploads/file/Documents/Governing%20Documents%20July%202011.pdf〕 The present Gothic church, the third structure to hold the congregation, was completed in 1872 on the site of a hilltop cemetery.〔http://www.city.pittsburgh.pa.us/wt/html/trinity_cathedral_1870-71.html〕 The site, centered on a terrace above the historic "point" (where the Allegheny River and the Monongahela River join to form the Ohio River) was sacred to Native Americans as a burial ground. Early settlers also used this site as a cemetery. The congregation built its second church here in 1824. The Trinity Churchyard has the oldest marked graves west of the Atlantic Seaboard, of both Native American leaders, French, English, and American colonists.
==The "Round Church"==
The first Trinity Church was built two blocks to the west of this burial ground at the base of the hill or terrace initially. It was constructed from the 1780s to 1805.
