The Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal (AME) Church is a Gothic Revival style church built in 1891. The original alter, communion rail, pews and light fixtures in the church are one of only a few unaltered religious interiors in Charleston.

Today Emanuel is the oldest AME church in the South, and houses the oldest black congregation south of Baltimore, MD.
