Photo of interior of Holy Trinity Church, East Melbourne The church was completed in 1906. According to Laurence Moore, church warden and organist at Holy Trinity, the organ currently in the church was installed in 1913 replacing the one shown in the photo which was on loan. These two dates set the limits for the photo as 1906-1913.
The photo was taken by John Henry Harvey (1855-1938), a long time resident of East Melbourne and a member of the church's congregation. He was an architect by profession but also one of the best amateur photographers of his time.
The church was designed by Leonard Terry, and Mr. J. Gabriel, chemist of Simpson's Road (Victoria Street), Richmond, and a member of the congregation, donated the pulpit, communion table, reading-desk and fittings for the chancel, all carved by himself.
