This is a re-post.
Saint Paul's Episcopal Church was established in 1750 by the Church of England at the site of Fort Augusta. The Church, located on the corner of 6th and Reynolds Street, is the oldest church congregation in Augusta. The original building was of Gothic architecture, but burned down during the Revolutionary War. The second church burned down during the Great Augusta Fire of 1916. The current church building of colonial architecture was designed by Henry Wendell and was completed in 1919.
It's a beautiful church with grand architectural details, Eleanor! If I weren't so shy, I'd ask for a photo from inside the sanctuary...
ReplyDeleteWhat a history. Probably an oasis inside. Please have a good new week ahead.
