During our stay in Greenville, we had the privilege of having this little place all to ourselves, due to the generosity of relatives of friends of ours.

The image St. Philip's Church comes into view on the easel by the hand of an artist.

St. Philip's Episcopal Church, a National Historic Landmark, houses the oldest congregation in South Carolina and was the first Anglican church established south of Virginia. This church is the third building to house the congregation, which was formed by Charles Town colonists. The first church, built in 1681, was a small wooden building located at the present site of St. Michael's Episcopal Church. In the early 18th century, the congregation built a second brick church at the site of the current church. Its construction was partially funded by duties on rum and slaves. After suffering from one fire that was extinguished by a black slave, who was given his freedom for this act, the church completely burned in 1835. The current St. Philip's was constructed from 1835 to 1838 by architect Joseph Hyde, while the steeple, designed by E.B. White, was added a decade later.

Charleston's French Quarter has many houses with doorways from the street into a courtyard. I like how the vegetation is trimmed to reveal the house number.

I wonder if these people mind getting wet mail? Perhaps the USPS only delivers mail to them on sunny days.

I love these doors, old brick and gas lamp. Someone else liked them too.
