Federalist

St. Helena's Anglican Church, a.k.a. the Parish Church of Saint Helena, was reconstructed in 1817 in Federal/Georgian style, replacing a church of c. 1720-25. It is a contributing property in the Beaufort Historic District (building #1105).

The John Mark Verdier House was built in the 1790s for the eponymous son of a French Huguenot emigrant, who became a wealthy planter and merchant. His house typified Beaufort's gracious architectural style and was a focal point of the town.

Beaufort ("Bew-furt") is the second oldest town in South Carolina and a "unique treasury of Southern American architecture." The district includes 475 contributing buildings on 304 acres, dating from the early-18th to mid-19th century.
