Was organized by French Protestants who arrived on ship Richmond in 1680.   The original church was built in 1687 and was later deliberately destroyed in an attempt to stop the great fire of 1796.   A second church was built in 1800 and services were timed according to the tides to accomodate people traveling by boat from nearby plantations.   The present structure was designed by architect Edward Brickell White in 1844-1845 and was Charleston's first Gothic Revival style church.   For many years the church was only used periodically for services sponsored by the Huguenot Society of S.C.   But in 1993, an active congregation was revived and is currently the only French Calvinist congregation in the United States.

The cornerstone of the chapel was laid on September 7,  1936.   The first service was held almost a year later on September 9,  1937 and the chapel was dedicated on April 10,  1938 as the Cadet Chapel.   After General Summerall's retirement as president of the Citadel in June of 1953,  the name was officially changed to the General Pelot Summerall Chapel.   All of the stained glass was designed at a single studio and consequently is concordant throughout.   The woodwork was designed in the style of fourteenth century Gothic and the lighting fixtures are handmade of wrought iron.   On the left rear of the chapel grounds is the Thomas Dry Memorial Carillon which houses one of the western hemisphere's largest Dutch Bell installations.   It was dedicated to the memory of Major Thomas Dry Howie,  class of 1929 who was killed in action during World War II on July 17,  1944.
