The Emma Abbott Memorial Chapel is a late Victorian church located at 52 Cooper St., Charleston, South Carolina. On October 4, 1890, the Citadel Square Baptist Church bought a parcel at the northwest corner of Cooper and America Streets for the construction of a mission church serving the Eastside. The land was marshy and had to be filled at a cost of $1500. In January 1891, Citadel Square Baptist Church learned that it had been named as one of several beneficiaries of the estate of Emma Abbott, a popular opera singer. She had attended church at Citadel Square Baptist Church during trips to Charleston in 1880, 1886, and February 1888.Abbott left the church $5,000, but because of New York probate laws, the gift could not be released until January 1892. In the meantime, the church began foundation work for the new church. The church hired Richmond, Virginia architect S.H. Foulk to design their new mission. The work was performed by John Murphy for $4,000; he finished the work in December 1892. The cost of the building had been higher than expected, and the steeple was not built. A two-story entrance tower appears to have been a later addition.The church was designed in the Romanesque Revival style and has broad gables with shingles, narrow weatherboard siding, and large round-topped openings. The interior is executed largely in wood.Since 1977, the church has been occupied by the Mt. Sinai Holiness Church of Deliverance.

Hampstead Village is a neighborhood in Charleston, South Carolina in the US, also known as the Eastside or the East Side. A prominent mercant, Henry Laurens, bought several tracts totaling 99 acres where Hampstead Village is today. He began acquiring the land in 1769 with a purchase of land from George Austin, and then he added nearby parcels.Laurens had his holdings platted on an English model, with Mary St. to the south (bordering Wraggborough), the edge of the Cooper River to the east, King St. to the west, and an unnamed creek near present-day Cooper St. to the north. Advertisements for lots in 1769 included mentions of a central square to be planned out by the first 21 buyers; that square was created and is today known as Hampstead Mall. Sales were lackluster: he sold only 68 of the 140 lots within the first 21 months. Most of even those lots were sold to Laurens's business parter, Wiliam Bampfield.The Revolutionary War also slowed the development of the new neighborhood. In May 1779, South Carolina governor John Rutledge ordered that the new houses be razed because they blocked the view of the City's defenders of the British forces to the north.
