I enjoyed this video very much. I grew up at Trinity in the 60's ... Trinity School during the week (from Kindergarten through 6th grade), and Trinity Church on Sundays. Wonderful memories.

The white stucco building across the street is the remaining wing of the first Ball High School.

[@galvestonunscripted]

Yes! We mention that when we are on the rooftop!

I love the old churches, and hope that each one has a monitored fire and smoke detection system.
