The church is built of limestone with a gabled roof, a large square tower, and a taller turret. The cornerstone was laid in 1852, the chancel was completed in 1853 and the tower was completed in 1887. During the Union occupation of Nashville during the Civil War, Federal troops used the church to store powder and stable horses and damaged much of the interior furnishings. But the church was restored by the turn of the century. Holy Trinity Episcopal Church is located at 615 Sixth Avenue South at Lafayette Street in a commercial district on a heavily traveled street.
