St. Stephen's Episcopal Church (Ridgeway, South Carolina)
October 28, 2023
St. Stephen's Episcopal Church is an historic Episcopalchurch building located northeast of Ridgeway, South Carolina, on County Road 106.[2] Built of wood in 1854 in the Carpenter Gothic style, it was designed by the Rev. John Dewitt McCollough, who later became its rector. The exterior was painted a maroon color. In 1920, its exterior wood was covered by brick veneer, so that it appears today as a brick Gothic Revival style building on the outside while the interior retains its Carpenter Gothic features. A wing was added in the 1940s to create space for a parish hall and Sunday school.[3]
St. Stephen's was founded in 1839 as a chapel of ease for St. John's Parish, Fairfield, and remained such until 1889 when it became a separate parish. Among its early rectors was the Rev. William Porcher DuBose, who served from 1865 to 1868.[3]
