National Historic Landmark-Unitarian Church, Charleston

Begun in 1772, and Gothicized by Francis D. Lee between 1852 and 1854, this is a good example of the dominance of the romantic and picturesque in the arts of the mid-19th century.

Lee's interior imitates that of Westminster Abbey's chapel of Henry VII.
