"Every Picture Tells a Story ... Don't It:" An August Afternoon in Charleston, Part I | Eastern North Carolina Now

    The buggy ride is a staple attraction in today's Charleston. We see this transportation conveyance at the corner of Church Street and Saint Michaels Alley: Below. Images by Stan Deatherage

    The view of Saint Phillips Episcopal Church's prominent spire can be seen from many vantage points in Charleston's Historic District. These two views are both from along Queen Street and gives the appearance that the spire is somehow built in the backyard of these Antebellum, Neo-Federal homes: Above and below. images by Stan Deatherage

    Saint Phillips Episcopal Church, as seen here looking north up Church Street, was built in 1836, with its impressive spire completed in 1850: Above. The French Protestant (Huguenot) Church is just up Church Street from St. Phillips. The church was first built in 1687, but after being destroyed in a community-wide fire 1796, the rebuilt church was dismantled in 1844 to make way for the current Greek Revival structure that remains today. Work was completed, and the present church was dedicated in 1845: Below.     images by Stan Deatherage
