CHURCH STREET: In the last century, this iconic view has changed little, save for the towering palms and modern modes of transportation. Popularly believed to reference St. Philip’s Episcopal Church, the street’s name came instead from either the French Huguenot Church built at the corner of Queen Street in 1687, the Baptist Meeting House at 61 Church dating to 1699, or both. While St. Philip’s is the oldest religious organization in South Carolina, it was originally located at the corner of Broad and Meeting, where St. Michael’s currently stands.
