The Taveau Church is a historic site in Cordesville, South Carolina. It was built around 1835 on the land of the old Clermont Plantation for Martha Caroline Swinton Taveau.

According to experts, the Taveau Church has quite an unusual style for its time. It is actually usually described as an ?unusual example? of an early 19th century church building may be because of its clapboard design mixed with other materials.

When the original owner died in 1847, the Taveau Church was then used by a black Methodist Congregation. It continued to be used as a qwworship place until today. The Luce family, the owners of the property, even donated the building to the Taveau Methodist Church Congregation in the 1940s, when the Clermont Plantation was merged to the Mepkin Plantation.
