Trinity Church on Copley Square is one of Boston's landmarks, and its Romanesque Revival building by Henry Hobson Richardson dates to the 1870s. This view shows the church's pipe organ, which the caption card attributes to Ernest S. Skinner, whose firm was a prominent American organ builder based in Boston in the early twentieth century. The card gives a date of about 1946, though no exact date is recorded. Photographs like this one often documented a builder's work or a church interior, and they preserve how the sanctuary looked before later changes.
