Christ Episcopal Church is a church located in Mount Pleasant, South Carolina.
Christ Church parish was one of ten established in South Carolina under the Church Act of 1706, an act of the British Parliament. As such the parish also served as a civil administrative district. A small wooden building was built on this site in 1708, but was accidentally destroyed by a fire in 1725. The current rectangular brick Colonial building with its hipped roof dates back to 1726. A cupola added in the 1786 restoration following damage from the fire set by the retreating British forces. The cemetery contains graves dating back to the mid-1700s. [2]
The cupola was replaced in 1835 and at that time the entrance was moved when the north door was converted to a window. The building was a voting place until 1865. Towards the close of the American Civil War, Union cavalry from the 21st United States Colored Infantry Regiment used the church as a stable and the interior was gutted. [3]
The building was rebuilt by 1874, and in 1961, wings containing a sacristy and a rector's office were added. [2] [4]
