The Holy Trinity Church at Dresden was built with granite fieldstone collected by local parishioners and designed by a Minneapolis architect. Stonemason Edroy Patterson from Rugby directed workers who were paid between $1.50 and $2.00 a day. Walls are buttressed at the corners and at bearing points for the interior trusswork. The bell tower and entrance portico are physically engaged with the steeply roofed gable end. The interior has steeply sloped ceilings with exposed timber trusswork. Now used by the Cavalier County Historical Society, the former church is part of a group of buildings celebrating local history with artifacts and memorabilia.
