| St. James Santee Episcopal, Chapel of Ease, McClellanville, S.C. |
It's been awhile since I've added to the
Church Photo in Lieu of Attendance series but I have a lovely one for you today. This is the St. James Santee Episcopal Chapel of Ease in McClellanville, S.C. I asked about the chapel location at the museum and was told the door would be open for my visit.
St. James Santee Episcopal Church: The church framework of South Carolina
longleaf pine and cypress was handcrafted the "old way," mortised and
tenoned together, and the black cypress shingles,
which cover the roof and exterior sidewalls, were shaped with handsaws. The
designs of the interior furnishings were the creations of Lucas, who drew them
on longleaf pine boards for rendering with keyhole
saws. His final touch was the installation of the chandeliers. He died in
1914.
I hope everyone has had a good weekend. As usual I am doing all my chores in the last few hours of the weekend. I can do it. I can.

Joan,
Thanks for the photos of MC. Am loving those photos.
Beautiful! And so ideally set in its location.
It's been a while since I went to church with you. I am glad I did not miss the service and that it was held it such a lovely place.
Les, It's best this way. If I actually go to a church service I spend my time drawing caricatures of the minister.
It is SUCH a sweet spot!
That is what I thought. I also loved that the door was open and welcoming.
It is so warm and welcoming. I loved it.
