Salem Black River Presbyterian Church
Salem Black River Presbyterian Church, Presbyterian church in Sumter County, South Carolina, US
The brick church features massive stucco-covered columns, a gabled roof, and a pedimented portico following Greek Revival architectural principles.
Scottish-Irish settlers established the church in 1759, with the current structure completed in 1846 using bricks manufactured directly at the construction site.
The interior contains a gallery that extends along three sides, supported by square wooden pillars, reflecting the social structures of the antebellum period.
The cemetery grounds, dating from 1794, remain accessible through prior arrangements with the church administration for genealogical research and family visits.
The building maintains its original architectural elements from 1846, including handcrafted pews featuring faux oak paint finishes.
