From the Historian: Trinity’s Galilee Porch

"... At some point during the process, chaos ensued. With the project nearly done, and architect Shepley abroad, Cairns severed his relationship with Evans & Co. and therefore halted his work on the porch. He even purportedly said he would finish the work for free so long as he didn’t have to work with Evans."
