St Mary's complex seeks protection under historic ordinance
The Historic Preservation Commission unanimously accepted a compromise on St Mary’s Parish complex in Aiken. Structures remain outside the designation while ground is protected. Any future demolition or new buildings will require the commission’s blessing and eventual approval by the planning commission and city council for inclusion in the historic register. The St Clair’s Chapel dates 1879 80, St Mary’s Church 1905, rectory early 1900s, Parish Hall 1952, and garage complex around 1965.
