Bruce K. I was not here to attend services, I was admiring this amazing building that was closed and locked this evening. From their website, "Located in beautiful Plattsburgh, Trinity Episcopal Church was organized in 1821. Our church offers congregants a place of comfort, hope, and peace of mind for all their worshipping needs. We are dedicated to living the teachings of Jesus Christ, and our goal is to inspire you through the intimacy of our sanctuary, and our services."
There is a marker in front that tells the tale. It reads in English, "Plattsburghs oldest public building. Reverend John Henry Hopkins, who authored the hymn We Three Kings was the rector here from 1872-1877." and since were close to Canada, it is also in French, "Le plus ancien batiment publique de Plattsburgh. Ce fut le Reverend John Henry Hopkins et auteur de lhymne We Three Kings qui fut ministre de cet eglise de 1827-1877." It was erected by Plattco Corporation and Clinton County.
There is plenty of metered street parking nearby.
