Church of the Good Shepherd
Beginning in 1883 with services held in nearby private homes by Trinity Church, this Episcopal church then constructed a building on Barnwell Street, was organized into a mission, and became a separate parish in 1886. Rt. Rev. Albert S. Thomas, 9th Bishop of S.C., was lay reader of Good Shepherd 1893-1900. The church moved to this site after the present building was completed in 1901.
