Pedestrians walk by City Hall and St. Michael's Episcopal Church in Charleston, S.C., on Monday, April 7, 2014. The city is seeking World Heritage status from the United Nations as a site important to all of humankind. Both buildings are among almost 40 religious and public buildings being included in Charleston's application. If approved, Charleston would join locations such as Venice, Easter Island , and the Pyramids of Giza on the list as being important to human history. (AP Photo/Bruce Smith)
