Mugdock Castle - Sullivan's Island SC

The first church service was held on July 10th, 1892. On September 12th, 1895, Ellison Capers, the seventh Bishop of South Carolina, wrote in his journal: "Consecrated this day to the worship of Almighty God a beautiful stone edifice erected on Sullivan's Island to be known as "The Chapel of the Holy Cross."
In a jingoistic fervor following its war with Spain in 1898, the federal government began enlarging Fort Moultrie. Covetous of the chapel, the imperial Army moved against Holy Cross. Ignoring pleas of the Episcopal Diocese, the Chapel was forcibly taken on August 10, 1905, allowing a paltry sum of $6,000 ($145,000 in 2010 dollars) as compensation. Down, but not out, a new Church of the Holy Cross was built two miles east. The original building served as the Post Chapel until Fort Moultrie was deactivated in 1947. St. Mark's Lutheran Church then acquired the building for its use. The chapel was deconsecrated in 1972 and converted to a private home.
In 2002, Vince Graham contracted to purchase the property. He planned to move the building to I'On, a neighborhood in Mount Pleasant, and restore it as an Episcopal church. The Sullivan’s Island Council took steps to block the move and Graham began preparing legal action. However, his priest at Holy Cross, fearing political repercussions might disrupt construction of a new sanctuary, persuaded Vince to stand down. Captivated by the structure, he nevertheless purchased the sacred ground in November, 2002.
