St. Luke's Episcopal
Church
NEWBERRY
Episcopalians from Charleston
formed the first congregation of St. Luke's Episcopal Church
in Newherry. The congregation was organized in 1846, and the
present building erected in 1855. The red brick church,
covered with stucco which is weathered to a muddy pink, is a
beautiful example of the Gothic Revival style of architecture,
and its interior is unusually well proportioned.
It is
said that the pipes of the old organ of this church were
buried for safe keeping during the Confederate
War.
