The roof lines of the Circular Church have a lot of interesting detail, and on this sunny day made an interesting picture.
The current building isn’t circular, but a cloverleaf design erected starting in 1890. It includes some bricks from the previous building that burned in 1861.
There is a glimpse of the Gibbes Museum of Art roof at the far left of the above photo. Here is a look at some of the details.

Hi Ellen! That’s an amazing church, glad you’ve shared the photos. Have you or Ted posted photos from inside it? And the detail of the museum roof is awesome!
Hi Liz! It is so interesting, and different from every side. Alas, no photos inside and I’ve never known them to be open to just wander in like many of the other Charleston churches we have photographed.
We have been inside twice, both times several years ago, for a concert. It was quite beautiful…wooden floors, pews and walls, with wonderful acoustics.
That would be a lovely intimate venue for a concert.
