Originally located in Tehuacana, Texas,Trinity University was opened by the Cumberland Presbyterian Church in 1869 as a school of Law, and a school of Theology. It moved to Waxahachie in 1902.
The builder of the structure was William Rees, a Welchman who served as a stonemason apprentice in Liverpool, England for several years before immigrating to Tehuacana, Texas in 1872. In 1873, he began construction of the building seen in the picture. He did most of the stonecutting himself. He was known as an honest and humble man, and is buried in Tehuacana Cemetary.
The town of Tehuacana is located at one of the highest points between Houston and Dallas (661 feet), and the area was originally occupied by the Tehuacana Indians, a peaceful farming tribe, destroyed by the Cherokee in the 1830's.
The old Trinity University building has been bought by a private organization who is currently restoring the delapidating building, and hope to use it for weddings, conventions, etc.

Trinity College, Cambridge, which was founded in 1546 by King Henry VIII, is the largest college in either Cambridge or Oxford. It was the result of the merger of two existing colleges – Michaelhouse (founded in 1324) and King’s Hall (founded in 1317) – and seven hostels. The Great Gate (pictured) is the main entrance to the college, leading to the Great Court. A statue of the college founder, Henry VIII, stands in a niche above the doorway. In his hand he holds a table leg instead of the original sword and myths abound as to how the switch was carried out and by whom. In 1704, the University’s first astronomical observatory was built on top of the gatehouse. Beneath the founder's statue are the coats of arms of Edward III, the founder of King's Hall, and those of his five sons who survived to maturity.
Multirole stealth VTOL fighter.
An extremely high speed stealth aircraft developed by Trinity Aerospace Industries, capable of reaching speeds of Mach 10, given the right configurations. Since this craft is flying at an absurdly high speed, the gravitational forces exerted on the operator would be too much for him or her to handle.
To that end, most of the internal systems are dedicated to life support, limiting ammunition storage and increasing energy usage. Even so, regular pilots must undergo special treatments and procedures (as well as daily maintenance) prior to receiving special permission to use this aircraft.
Because of this, not many XF-01's were purchased, and of those purchased, not many have been sent out in the field, mainly because of the high costs and high risks involved in using the aircraft.
However, it did start to gain popularity, and a few years later, it has seen much use from UN-affiliated countries, and the USAF. It also holds the Guinness World Record for being the fastest aircraft in existence, formerly held by the SR-71 Blackbird.
The USAF and UN designated the XF-01 as the FA-51 Hummingbird, due to its sharp nose and rather sleek design, but Canadian owned XF-01 fighters were designated as the C-51 Pronghorn.
The radar spike on the front of the aircraft has a bad tendency of skewering birds while in flight. While it does not damage the aircraft that much, it does provide some wildlife-unfriendly operators with an after-mission snack with a roadkill twist.
(Will be considering to add an ADMM module and the Tactical Maser Array in a future edit.)

Trinity Site - site of the first nuclear explosion. It was impressive to see, and quite a privilege. There are only two open house days a year, the first Saturdays of April and October. Only about 2,500 people attended this day, so not that many people have been here. Located in such a desolate (obviously why) area and takes about 1.25 hours to get to. My heart sank when I noticed some Japanese visitors amongst the many Americans. Some of the radiated trinkets on display from the first time capsule opened at the decade mark; a pack of cigarette (ironic - die from lung cancer or radiation poisoning?) some equipment and obviously a Geiger counter. Funny; when measuring the radiation from some collected trinitite - the glass formed from desert sand - it barely registered, but when put against a common everyday glow-in-the-dark clock it ticked vigorously; means we live around more irradiatiated common items in a day-to-day life than from the blast site. In the picture with the bomb is a casing for another nuclear device, one of 120 ever made. Labeled the MK-III, this one is the same as the one dropped in Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
History
Here at Trinity Cathedral, we are looking ahead into 2008, when we will be celebrating the 250th anniversary of Anglican worship in Pittsburgh. This year of celebration will focus on helping the diocese, the wider ecumenical community, and the city and region observe what twenty-five decades of Anglican, Protestant and Christian witness have meant to the region “as famous for God as for steel.”
Following is a brief outline of Trinity’s splendid past - for more information, please schedule a tour with one of our trained guides - contact office@trinitycathedralpgh.org
October 1787 — Land given by heirs of William Penn. Recorded in Westmoreland County, the ground was originally used by Native Americans, the French at Fort Duquesne, and British at Fort Pitt, as a burial ground. Three lots were included in deeds to the Episcopal and Presbyterian churches, including a burying ground (1.5 lots given to each group). There were originally 4,000 graves, and over 2,000 have been identified. Although the deed does not name Trinity, the trustees chosen to receive the land were the ones who were active in the creation of Trinity. John Ormsby, one of the trustees, had been recorded as a lay reader at Fort Pitt as early as 1762.
1805 — Charter given for Trinity. Until this point, although they owned the present land, they had been meeting in homes and on the second floor of the courthouse on Market Square. They had procured the services of The Rev. John Taylor as the first rector (who was also a founder of the University of Pittsburgh), and bought a triangular piece of land on Sixth Ave. and Liberty (now the site of the Wood Street subway station). The first church was octagonal and was known as “The Round Church.” Trinity soon became the center for development of parishes in the area.
1825 — The congregation had outgrown its current facilities, and the rector, The Rev. John Henry Hopkins (who was a lawyer, architect, and priest), designed a Gothic structure to be erected on the site of the present church. It was brick, covered with stucco to look like stone. There was a long chancel with galleries on both sides. A spire was built with a clock, for which subscriptions were collected from the public. Bishop William White, the first Bishop of Pennsylvania, consecrated the new Trinity Church in 1825.
1865 — The creation of the Diocese of Pittsburgh with The Rt. Rev. John Kerfoot as the first Bishop. It then included all of western Pennsylvania. In 1910, the Diocese of Erie was formed with the northwestern churches. The Bishop’s chair is carved in oak, with the seal of the Diocese of Pittsburgh in needlepoint on the cushion.
1869 — It appears that Trinity was too small for the congregations, and a new church was planned.
1872 — Completion of the new church, a stone building with spire and clock, built in the architectural style called English Gothic. The spire is 200 feet tall. Columns and piers of arches are all made of red Massillon sandstone. Interior wood is white butternut or walnut. The original church pews, of hand-carved white mahogony, are still in use. Floors are of Minton’s Encaustic tiles. The chancel ceiling is ultra-marine blue, decorated in gold. The chancel is panelled with richly carved wood.
1922 — The marble pulpit was exquisitely carved with figures of the four Evangelists interspersed with early rectors of Trinity.
1927 — Trinity Church became Trinity Cathedral. A new charter was issued, and, as a Cathedral, changes were made in the governing of the church from that of a parish church. A Cathedral is under a corporation, made up of lay and clergy delegates, who control the property. A Cathedral Chapter is responsible for the government and administration of the affairs of the church. The Bishop is the President of the corporation, and the priest in charge of the Cathedral–known as a Dean–is the Vice President. The Dean appoints assistants, known as Canons.
Trinity’s charter requires that Morning and Evening Prayer be offered daily for all time to come. This has been done faithfully, even during the 1936 flood, the 1950 snowfall, and the fire of 1967. A noon service of Holy Communion is also offered daily.
1967 — A disastrous fire swept through the church. As a result, it was decided to modernize the church. The location of the altar was changed from under the three windows at the rear of the chancel, making a free-standing altar and placing the choir and the organ to the rear. New windows replaced the side ones destroyed by the fire. A 14-foot suspended cross, made of steel, glass, and aluminum (in honor of Pittsburgh’s major industries), was installed above the new altar.
1990 — The antiphonal organ A new four-manual console was built for Trinity’s organ, and in 1991, the West division was added to the instrument (dedicated to Canon Alfred Hamer).
2003 — The Flag Project The Cathedral, in partnership with the Diocese of Pittsburgh, began the display of many world flags. These flags are symbolic of the global mission to which all the Episcopal churches of Southwestern Pennsylvania are committed.
2006 — Burial Ground renovations will begin in the summer of 2006 with surveying and finalization of design plans, with the hope of beginning stone removal, demolition, and regrading by October.
Nicely restored house in Trinity, NL. I've seen paintings of this house around town and a framed photo of it taken years ago in rougher condition.

Trinity College was founded as a training house for Catholic priests in the sixteenth century. The site of the college, now very much in the city centre, was originally chosen for its quiet, rural aspect. Trinity became a pillar of the Anglican establishment in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, and a centre of educational reform in the nineteenth.
The past 100 years have seen great expansion in the numbers of fellows and students, and the college buildings and grounds have steadily changed to meet the evolving needs of the resident community.
Finally photographed the beauty.
I basically took brick train depot's design, improved some bits (notice how the roof is 5-wide, as it should be) and stretched it to 4 bays. I must say, it BARELY clears Lego's standard R40 curves due to the trucks hitting the outer bays, but it works. Due to the additional curve on the roof, which is necessary to pull off the overall shape, this one is a plate taller than all of my other stuff.
I also decided to use this absolutely stunning paint scheme, which works very, very, very well in the bricks. The stripe is pearl gold, the walkway is pearl light grey, top hatches are white. I also normally don't do stickers for freight cars, but in this case I've decided it's worth it.
Also: BlueBrixx couplers with cut-off buffers. Works like a charm, looks nice, is cheap.
Hope you like it as much as I do.

The church and parish house were designed by Henry Hobson Richardson and construction took place from 1872 to 1877. Situated on Copley Square in Back Bay, Trinity Church is the building that established Richardson's reputation. It is the birthplace and archetype of the Richardsonian Romanesque style, characterized by a clay roof, polychromy, rough stone, heavy arches, and a massive tower. This style was soon adopted for a number of public buildings across the United States.
