St. Philip's Episcopal Church
St. Philip's Episcopal Church, Gothic Revival church in Lee County, United States
The brick church features three Tuscan porticos, high Corinthian arcades, and an octagonal spire topped with a weather vane on Church Street.
The current structure, built between 1835 and 1836, represents the third building serving this congregation, with the steeple added between 1848 and 1850.
The church graveyard contains the remains of notable figures, including John C. Calhoun, Rawlins Lowndes, and Edward Rutledge, reflecting regional historical significance.
The interior arrangement includes a high vestibule styled as an auditorium, with galleries and an apsidal chancel modified after a 1920 fire.
The church tower served as a navigation aid for ships entering Charleston harbor from 1893 to 1915, with a brief reactivation in 1921.
