Cathedral of St Luke and St Paul Charleston

Construction on the Cathedral of St. Luke and St. Paul in Charleston began in 1810. It was originally called St. Paul’s Radcliffeboro until 1949, when the parish enfolded the congregation of St. Luke's on Charlotte Street. The first combined service of the two parishes took place on July 17, 1949. The building was in continuous use during the Civil War, harboring congregations bombarded by Union cannons. The church’s bell was dismantled and sent to Columbia to be melted down and used to support the Confederate cause. For the most part, the interior appears as it did in 1815, with a major exception to the stained-glass windows added after Hurricane Hugo in 1989. Notable features include the building's acoustical properties, which are often sought by performing artists, particularly during the Spoleto Festival.
