St. Philip's Roman Catholic Church

St. Philip's is a Roman Catholic chapel in Statesville, North Carolina, constructed with Late Gothic Revival features including pointed arches and a crenellated tower. The single-story building spans two bays by four bays and occupies a lot on East Sharpe Street.

The chapel was built in 1898 by Lazenby Brothers and served the local Catholic community until 1976. The parish's relocation to a different church ended its use for religious gatherings.

The church incorporates architectural elements of Late Gothic Revival style, including a large pointed arch stained glass window and a tower with crenellated parapet.

The building now operates as office space while maintaining its outer architectural character. Visitors can view the facade and tower from the street.

The church received National Register of Historic Places designation in 1980, preserving its status as a significant architectural landmark in Iredell County.
