St. Michael's Episcopal Church Charleston

St. Michael's Anglican Church Charleston, built between 1752 and 1761, is the oldest church in Charleston. The history of the congregation of St. Michael's is firmly established in St. Philip's Episcopal. The first St. Philip's church stood at this site from approximately 1681 to 1727. In 1751, the congregation divided, and the residents of the lower half of the city formed St. Michael's. The church has had some famous attendees over the years, including George Washington in 1791 and Robert E Lee in 1861. The church miraculously survived hurricanes, wars, fires, and earthquakes throughout the years. When damaged, the church has been carefully restored or reconstructed. During the Revolutionary War, the church bells were taken to England as a prize of war, but a London merchant purchased and returned them. During the Civil War, they were sent to Columbia, but cracked in a great fire there in 1865. The metal fragments were salvaged and sent to England to be recast in their original molds and rehung. St. Michael's Church continues to be a major city landmark today. Notable features include the portico, which dates to the late 1880’s and a three-sided second story gallery and native cedar box-pews.
