3-story Romanesque-revival church rectory completed in 1927. Designed by Thomas Dunn for the Holy Trinity Church, it is clad in reddish-tan brick with white stone quoins at the edges. The ground floor has three round-arches. The middle one has the entrance, with intricate wrought-iron double-doors and a stone surround with a pattern of grapevines. A panel above the doors reads "HOLY TRINITY RECTORY", with a cross inscribed in a circle in the architrave. The other two arches are set behind pointed, black iron fences, and have paired windows separated by spiral columns. Smaller arches top each window within the larger arch, with a clover in a circle below the peak of the main arches. Two wall lanterns are mounted between the three main arches.

The upper floors have a single-window in the center bay and paired windows in the end bays. At the 2nd floor they have simple stone sills and flat stone lintels, and the paired windows are separated by brick pilasters. The 3rd floor has a dentiled sill course, rounded columns between the paired windows, and round-arched with brick voussoirs above the windows. Splitting the quoins at the corners vertically are engaged colonnettes with intricate patterns, and just below the brick roof parapet is a small, projecting stone cornice with alternating small brackets and rosettes. The parapet is adorned with a couple terra-cotta diamond-shapes and patterned brickwork and is capped by a metal coping.

The east elevation of the rectory is clad in the same reddish-tan brick at the front, with grey-brown brick farther back, behind a chimney shaft. There is one bay of single-windows at the front, while the rest of the side facade has a mix of single- and double-windows at various positions. The west elevation is similar.
