10 W. Liberty St.

A pivotal building. Robert Walker, a noted South Carolina architect from Charleston, designed this church in 1846. Construction of the building did not begin until about the time of the War Between the States, and it was not completed until after the War. The Charleston influence is evident in the pew gates, which were used to enter the pews. A gallery lined three sides of the original sanctuary, and part of it remains in the form of a balcony in the rear of the sanctuary. The chancel was the focal point with a single uplifted pulpit. It was converted in 1949 to the divided chancel and choir loft which you see today. This building is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and the American Presbyterian and Reformed Historical Sites.

The congregation, first organized in 1842, was originally housed in a wooden structure across the street (#58).
