St. Margaret’s House, the subsidized apartment building for elderly and disabled persons sponsored by Trinity Church Wall Street, celebrated the Lunar New Year this week with many of the customs of China dear to St. Margaret’s House residents.
The recent nineteen-month rejuvenation of the nave of Trinity Church is a reminder that a 324-year-old parish, in its third church building, will always be in the process of re-invention.

UPDATE: Kelly Wilson has taken his very special guitar home.
Rejuvenation closed the nave of Trinity Church from May 2018 until Christmas Eve 2019. Colin Winterbottom photographed the entire process and invites us to watch 19 months of work displayed in a video that runs a little more than a minute.
