The Holy Trinity Catholic Church Rectory and Convent in Bloomington, Illinois, USA, has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1983. The Rectory and Convent Building is situated behind the art deco church on the site of the 1869 Holy Trinity Church, which was destroyed by a tornado before it was completed. A fire obliterated the church in 1932, but the church was financed, and recovery was quick.{{Cite book |last=Moore |first=S. N.

The church's pipe organ was the last large instrument manufactured by the Hinners Organ Company of Pekin, Illinois (opus 3074, built in 1934). The resulting instrument served until 1989, when the Rodgers Organ Company replaced it with a three-manual hybrid instrument with 8 ranks of new pipes.{{cite web | last = Chace | first = Larry | title=Some Large Hinners Organs in Bloomington, Illinois | website=University at Albany | location = Albany, New York | date=2000-02-04 | url=https://www.albany.edu/piporg-l/FS/lc.html | access-date=2018-04-04}}
