The cornerstone was laid for the new Episcopal church in August, 1883. The name St. Philip's was chosen because many of the new church founders' home parish was Charleston's historic St. Philip's Church which dated back to 1713. The new church was consecrated in 1891. On Christmas day, 1925, the church was destroyed by fire.
Excerpted from St. Philip's Episcopal Church: A History, by Jack Reak.
The fire, which began in a banked furnace and had become overheated, was so thorough that little cleanup was needed. The cornerstone for a new church was laid in August, 1926. The little parish graveyard with recorded graves dating back to 1878 was encompassed by the new building. Tall headstones were removed to accommodate the new floor and an entrance to the graves was provided through a ground floor door. Construction took two years to complete and in February, 1927, the bishop reported "…at St. Philip's, Brevard, the opening service being held in the beautiful Norman Church."
