Circular Congregational Church
Organied in 1681, this church became The Independent Church of Charles Town.  Meeting Street adopted its name from the Meeting House built to house the independent congregation.  In 1806, a unique circular building, designed by Robert Mills, became known as the Circular Church.  In 1861, a fire destroyed the building.  In 1891, the fourth and present building on the site integrated the brick from the burned building of the 1886 earthquake into the new building.  The Circular Church established the first Sunday School in South Carolina.
