St. Martin of Tours is a
fine example of the Late Gothic Revival style of architecture prevalent in the late 19th
century. It was founded, along with most Episcopalian churches in Omaha, by the Very
Reverend Frank Millspaugh, dean of Trinity Cathedral in 1876, and his successor George
Worthington. St. Martin of Tour represents the Ecclesiologocal movement within the
Episcopal Church which stressed the purity of worship through a return to the historically
Christian architecture of the Middle Ages.
