====South wing==== [[File:Trinity College Quad Facing Tower.jpg|thumb|right|Trinity's central tower from the quad]]The front wing of the main building (often referred to as "Trinity Proper") was completed in 1925 by architectural firm [[Darling and Pearson]], among whose other projects include the university's [[Convocation Hall (University of Toronto)|Convocation Hall]] and [[Varsity Arena]].<ref name="Walking">{{cite book|title=Trinity College : a walking guide|last=Office of Convocation|publisher=Trinity College|year=2001}}</ref> The architects were required to faithfully preserve the familiar characteristics of the original Trinity College building in the design of the front wing,<ref>{{Cite book|title=Trinity College: Queen's Park Toronto|publisher=Rous & Mann, Ltd.|location=Toronto}}</ref> which is hence of predominantly [[Jacobethan]] architectural construction. This is particularly apparent in the characteristic roofline and stone towers of the building, while [[Tudor Revival architecture|Tudor Revival]] styles are employed in the construction of the Angel's Roost tower in the college's west wing. Prominent faces are carved into the doorposts at the entrance to the college, the entrance to Strachan Hall, as well as the gate under the east wing's Henderson Tower. The door from the entrance hall into the Trinity quadrangle is also carved with the signs of the zodiac, while figures of scholars adorn the hallway.<ref name=":0">{{Cite book|title=Trinity College: A Visitor's Guide|last=Lassam|first=Sylvia|publisher=Trinity College Archives|location=Toronto}}</ref> By 1941, immediately prior to the imposition of wartime restrictions on building materials,<ref name="Review" /> Trinity College had undertaken the construction of the eastern and western wings under Toronto architectural firm George & Moorhouse.
