1892 (church)Architect: Robert Mills (parish house) Architectural style: Greek Revival, Romanesque Governing body: Private NRHP Reference#: 73001683 Added to NRHP: November 7, 1973[1] Circular Congregational Church and Parish House is a church in Charleston, South Carolina that was built in Richardsonian Romanesque style circa 1892 (the third on its site), and its Greek revival-style parish house built in about 1806. The parish house was designed by Robert Mills, along with the original church on the site. The current church is not circular, but of a modified cloverleaf design. Its name comes from one of the earlier church buildings.
The parish house, with twin stairways and wrought iron railings, was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1973.[2][3][4] Today the Circular Congregational Church is an active congregation in the United Church of Christ.[5]
