Moving Star Hall is a historic community building located on Johns Island, Charleston County, South Carolina. It was built about 1917, and is a crudely built, one-story, rectangular, frame, weatherboarded building. It has a low concrete block pillar foundation and a metal-covered gable roof. Also on the property is a contributing outhouse. The building was used by the local African-American population as a "praise house" and meeting place of the Moving Star Young Association, a religious, social, fraternal, and charitable community institution.[2][3]
