One of the most photographed building in Charleston, St. Philip’s is the home to the oldest congregation in South Carolina. The original church was built in 1681, and ultimately replaced (after fires and other structures) by the current building which was built between 1835 and 1838. While the main building was designed by Joseph Hyde, the famed steeple was designed by renowned architect E.B. White and added about 10 years later. Fittingly, St. Philip’s is located on Church Street.
