The McBee Chapel United Methodist Church, also known as McBee Methodist Church, is a historic octagonal-shaped church located in Conestee, South Carolina, approximately seven miles south of Greenville. Built in 1856, it is one of only three octagonal churches still standing in the United States .

The church was designed by John Adams, a local millwright, who believed that an octagonal design would provide more seating space. It was constructed for the workers of Vardry McBee’s nearby Reedy River Factory, seating about 155 people . The church was named after Vardry McBee, known as the “Father of Greenville,” who provided the funds for its construction .​

The church features a pyramidal roof topped with an octagonal louvered cupola, and a whitewashed brick base. Inside, it originally included a balcony used by enslaved individuals, which was removed after the Civil War .​

Today, McBee Chapel remains an active Methodist congregation. Despite having only a small congregation, it continues to serve the community through various ministries, including a monthly food pantry and a partnership with the local fire department .

McBee Chapel is located at Main Street, Conestee, SC 29605. While primarily a place of worship, the church’s unique architecture and historical significance make it a noteworthy site for visitors interested in South Carolina’s heritage.​
