of Boston, Mass. These windows, too, carry the theme of old and new testaments with the words “The Lord is One” written in Hebrew and “Spirit of God” written in Greek. The next year, the great Charleston earthquake of 1886 (7.3 on the moment magnitude scale) devastated the city of Charleston and caused major damage to the Unitarian Church. The entire top of the church tower, including eight paneled buttresses, high pinnacles, and medieval-style finials, fell into the Nave of the church, leaving a gaping hole in the roof and destroying part of the famed fan-vaulted ceiling. Fortunately for the church, Unitarians from across the country generously donated $17,000 to the rebuilding effort, much of which was later repaid. Boston architect Thomas Silloway restored the interior to Francis Lee's original design. The tower, however, was rebuilt in a slightly less elaborate form with the pinnacles and parapet lowered and simplified. This was to increase structural stability in the event another earthquake struck Charleston. More than one hundred years passed before Charleston faced another natural disaster of similar scope. In 1989, Hurricane Hugo destroyed about 30 mature trees in the churchyard. These trees were replaced with a lower growing canopy of dogwood, halesia (silverbell), crepe myrtle, and Japanese maple. More than 60 tombstones were also damaged in that storm, but age and weather have also taken their toll. The Larrisey Gravestone Conservation Project, named for former member, M. Maxine Larrisey, was established for their repair and 65 have been refurbished. Campus Today, the 1.3 acre campus includes the church, a lovely churchyard, Gage Hall, and a Religious Education Annex. The Sanctuary is often referred to as the Landmark as it was named a National Historical Landmark in 1976. In 2005, the outside of the building was cleaned, sealed and resurfaced, and in 2010, the inside was also repaired and repainted. It remains today a fine example of fan-vaulting and, with its lovely painted and stained-glass windows, is a pleasant place to sit in quiet contemplation. The churchyard is an oasis of greenery in the middle of Charleston, accessed via an inviting walkway from King Street or through gates on Archdale. It is also now part of Charleston's Gateway Walk. Despite myths to the contrary, nobody famous is buried in the churchyard, but the gravesites and other areas are planted with a variety of trees, bushes and plants such that there are
