Holy Trinity Church, 1938. Constructed for the Free Magyar Reform Church, a Hungarian-speaking congregation in 1909, this church sits on a triangular lot. The apse of the building (the recess that usually includes the altar) is here at the narrowest point of the lot at the corner. A delightful, slim, polygonal cupola tops the variegated brickwork church. Later the Thompson & Frohling-designed building became the home of the Trinity Lutheran Church, as is depicted in this 1938 photograph. In the mid-1950s the church was sold to an A.M.E. Zion Church. In 1978 it was renamed for Dorothy L. Jordan Walls, wife of AMEZ Bishop. Mother Walls Church celebrated their 50th anniversary at this home in 2005.
