Established in 1681, St. Philip's is the oldest religious congregation in South Carolina. The first
St. Philip's Church, a wooden building, was built between 1680 and 1681 at the corner of Broad and
Meeting streets on the present day site of St. Michael's Episcopal Church. It was damaged in a hurricane
in 1710 and a new St. Phillip's Church was begun a few blocks away on Church Street. After being
delayed it was finished in 1723 but burned to the ground in 1835. Work on the present church was
begun that same year and completed the next. The steeple was added between 1848 and 1850.
A prominent early rector of St. Philip's was Rev. Thomas Frost, a fellow of Caius College, Cambridge,
who became rector of St. Philip's in 1785. Rev. Frost died in 1804 at 46 years of age. Rev. Thomas
Downes Frost, son of the first rector Frost, was elected assistant minister of St. Philip's on
March 12, 1815. The second Rev. Frost died an early death at age 26 in 1819.
The wife of another early rector, Gideon Johnston, was Henrietta Johnston, who became the first female
artist in the American colonies. Another artistic first with connections to the church was Mary Roberts,
the first female American miniaturist, whose burial was recorded in the register in 1761.
The tower of St. Philip's served for many years as the rear tower of a set of range lighthouses serving to
guide mariners into Charleston's harbor; the front tower of the range was located on Fort Sumter. The church
is one of only two in the United States known to have served such a function.
St. Philip's Episcopal Church is an historic Episcopal church in the French Quarter neighborhood of
Charleston, South Carolina. Its National Historic Landmark description states: "Built in 1836
(spire completed in 1850), this stuccoed brick church features an imposing tower designed in the Wren-Gibbs
tradition. Three Tuscan pedimented porticoes contribute to this design to make
a building of the highest quality and sophistication."
