Trinity Cathedral's Mediterranean-inspired Romanesque Revival building, the church's third structure, is recognized as one of Miami's most architecturally significant historic buildings and sacred spaces. Constructed in 1925, Trinity Cathedral has survived hurricanes, the Florida land bust, the Great Depression, and much more. But time, weather and salt water have taken their toll, and this historic Cathedral is in immediate need of repair and restoration.

Two immediate priorities are securing the Cathedral's structural foundation beneath the altar and repairing and restoring the Cathedral's stained glass windows. Considerable settling has occurred since the Cathedral was originally constructed in 1925, leaving approximately four feet of space between the concrete foundation slab and the soil level. In addition, the reinforced concrete columns in the crawl spaces below the slabs are significantly deteriorated.

Many of the Cathedral's inspiring stained glass windows have warped and cannot be closed, and the frames of many windows have deteriorated so much so that rain water simply pours in through the openings. In addition, several of the beautifully hand-crafted Italian mosaics have begun to separate from the wall surface, and some hand-painted tiles are cracked or missing. Interior walls and decorative molds have cracked and broken with time. The Cathedral's magnificent historic Aeolian-Skinner organ, installed during the Cathedral's construction, requires immediate critical restoration to maintain its exquisite and distinctive quality.
