St. Philip's Episcopal Church, built in 1840, is an early example of the Carpenter Gothic style of architecture. It is unusual among such churches in featuring a pointed arch window in its front gable rather than the customary circular rose window.[3]
St. Philip's Cemetery is included in the historic place designation. Buried there is the Rev. Charles Pinckney Elliott, the first rector of the church.[3]
St. Philip's Episcopal Church is no longer an active parish in the Episcopal Diocese of South Carolina, but is maintained by local descendants of the original members with assistance from the diocese.[3][4]
