St. Michael's Church stands at the corner of Meeting and Broad Streets in Charleston, South Carolina, and this view centers on the building that was completed in 1752 and still anchors the city's skyline. The church's white steeple, rising above the surrounding rooftops, was a landmark for ships entering the harbor and remains one of the most recognizable features of the Charleston peninsula. Its congregation dates to the early years of the colony, and the building's Georgian design reflects the prosperity of the planters and merchants who worshipped there. The record notes that this is a reproduction of a drawing rather than a photograph, dating to about 1935.
