Albert W. Todd House

The Albert W. Todd House is a historic house at 41 Church St., Charleston, South Carolina. It was built in November 1909 by architect Albert Wheeler Todd for his own family's residence. At the time, Todd was living nearby at 50 Church St., and he was attracted to the lot. Local lore says that he built his house on a dare, challenging the proposition that a house could not be built on a lot 150 feet deep but only 25 feet wide. Although the odd location of the garage entry on the ground floor through the base of the chimney is cited as proof of the tale, Todd's widow denied ever having heard of such a dare. The house is an early example of stucco over wood construction in Charleston. References

Villa Margherita (Charleston, South Carolina)

The Villa Margherita is an Italian Renaissance house at 4 South Battery, Charleston, South Carolina. It was built in 1892 and early 1893 for Andrew Simonds. The house is made of brick with a Portland cement coating according to the plans of the architect, Frederick P. Dinkelberg. The decorative work on the four Corinthian columns and the frieze on the front was executed by the Morrison Brothers of New York City. The entrance of the house features a large atrium with a fountain. Between 1905 and 1953, the house served as a hotel. During that use, guests included William Howard Taft, Grover Cleveland, and Theodore Roosevelt. Sinclair Lewis was a guest at the hotel, where he completed the manuscript for Main Street. In 1935, author Gertrude Stein and her partner Alice B. Toklas spent Valentine's Day at the Villa Margherita during Stein's American tour. From 1943 to 1946, the United Seaman's Service leased the hotel and rented rooms to seamen and their families. In 1961, James and Mary Wilson bought the house. Their daughter, Mary Wilson, sold it for $3 million to Stephen and Mary Hammond in September 2012. References

World War Memorial Building

World War Memorial Building is a building designed by Lafaye & Lafaye in Columbia, South Carolina, United States. History and design The University of South Carolina Board of Trustees approved the building of a World War memorial in 1933. A design was brought forward the following year by Lafaye & Lafaye. J.J. McDevitt built the memorial in 1935. The cornerstone was laid by The American Legion's Wyndham Manning and contains a complete listing of all the South Carolina citizens involved in World War I. The memorial was dedicated on May 30, 1935. The structure is modeled on a Roman or Greek temple. Construction is of granite and limestone. On the face of the entrance are six columns with three windows set between the central four columns. The building also features engravings over the entrance and on either side of the main doorway. Uses Aside from being a monument to South Carolina's veterans, the building was also meant to function as office space. The Historical Commission became the first tenant, but outgrew the space, as the second floor was designated as a chapel and its office space housed the American Legion Auxiliary. The Historical Commission began seeking a new building in 1947. In 1960, the structure began housing the University of South Carolina's International Studies department. 1971 saw the South Carolina Confederate Relic Room and Museum take up residence in the building. The Confederate Relic Room was housed here for three decades. Today, the building houses University of South Carolina Publications Gallery References
Conestee Mill

Conestee Mill er en historisk vandmølle i det kommunefrie område Conestee, i South Carolina, USA. Møllen er en turistattraktion, og ligger i nærheden af cykel- og fodgængerstierne i Lake Conestee Nature Park. Historie Arkæologer har fundet spor af at Cherokee-indianerne, i kolonitidens Amerika, ofte brugte området omkring Conestee Mill som en lejrplads. I 1794 blev et 80 ha stort område overdraget til Andrew Nelson, der grundlagde møllen. Omkring 1820 var der et lille samfund i området. Før 1833, blev møllen solgt til Vardry McBee, der navngav møllen "McBee Factory". Den blev på den tid brugt til at producere papir, strikkegarn, og bomuld. Efter 1875, blev McBee Factory omdøbt til Conestee Mill, møllens nuværende navn . Møllen lukkede først i 1939, men genåbnede senere i 1946 af en ny ejer. Møllen lukkede officielt i 1971, og den 2. marts 2014 blev møllen med dens dæmning og sø noteret på National Register of Historic Places. References

Louis DeSaussure House

The Louis DeSaussure House is an antebellum house at 1 East Battery, Charleston, South Carolina. The house was designed and built for Louis DeSaussure by William Jones and completed in late 1859 (1859). The three-story, masonry house follows a traditional side hall plan; two adjacent parlors are fronted with piazzas along the south side while a stair hall runs along the north side with a front door facing east onto East Battery. In 1865 during the Civil War, the house was damaged when evacuating Confederate forces blew up a large cannon at the corner of East Battery and South Battery; a piece of the cannon was lodged in the attic of the house. The balconies on the East Battery façade and window ornaments were installed when the house was restored after the earthquake of 1886 by Bernard O'Neill, who bought it in 1888. The house was used by the military to house Navy officers during World War II and was later converted into apartments. The carriage house for 1 East Battery was later subdivided into a separate house known as 2 South Battery. References

Daniel Ravenel House

The Daniel Ravenel House has remained in the same family longer than any other house in Charleston, South Carolina. The property itself was first owned by the current owner's family when Isaac Mazyck acquired the land, probably in about 1710; he definitely owned the parcel by 1719. When he died in 1735, his daughter inherited the house, and it became her home along with her husband, Daniel Ravenel. When the original house burned in 1796, the current Charleston single house was constructed. The Ravenel family has occupied the house since 1796. More than ten generations of the Ravenels have occupied the house, all of them but one named Daniel Ravenel. References
William Harvey House (Charleston, South Carolina)

The William Harvey House in Charleston, South Carolina, is one of three tenement houses near the southeast corner of Meeting and Tradd Streets that were described in the local newspaper as "newly built" on April 19, 1770. After nearly forty years of ownership by the Tradd family (for whom the adjacent street was named), the corner lot was sold to Jacob Motte in 1731. Motte served as the provincial treasurer for many years; in 1752 he was found to have received 90,000 pounds from the treasury in his official capacity, but was unable to repay the public funds. The unimproved lot was assigned to a committee of the government to hold until the debt was repaid. Its chain of title is incomplete until 1770 when the property belonged to William Harvey. His lot at the corner of Meeting St. and Tradd St. (which had not yet been subdivided from its original size and included houses facing Tradd Street) was to be sold, and an advertisement in the Charleston Gazette described the lot as having "three very good new-built Brick Houses, with every convenient Out-Building." In 1799, the corner parcel was bought by Henry William de Saussure and Timothy Ford. The two lawyers temporarily rejoined the house with the neighboring parcel at 63 Tradd Street before ultimately splitting off 58 Meeting Street in 1801 into its current dimensions. De Saussure received 58 Meeting St. as part of the division. The house passed through several other owners before being bought by John H. Doscher in 1872. Doscher opened a grocery in the building and remodeled the house with Victorian details and a storefront. The grocery use lasted nearly a century. The Historic Charleston Foundation bought the house in 1979 and conveyed it in April 1982 to Thomas and Jacquelin Stevenson who restored the building to a residential purpose. The house, a Charleston single house, was bought by John Dewberry in 2003 for $1.5 million. The house's stables on the south end of the lot had been joined to the house in the early 1900s and converted into a kitchen. Dewberry reworked the hyphen between the two buildings and remodeled the kitchen. References
James Ross Wildlife Reservation

James Ross Wildlife Reservation is a South Carolina Wildlife Management Area located near York and Sharon managed by the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources. History The property is believed to be named after James Ross, born in 1744, and who owned 300 acres of land in the Bethesda area. Ross fought on the side of the Patriots during the Battle of Huck’s Defeat in 1780 near Brattonsville, South Carolina. The South Carolina Department of Natural Resources (DNR) established The James Ross Wildlife Reservation on October 4, 1995. The 305 acre plat of land was donated to the DNR by Ms. Kitty W. Sandifer, a retired school teacher from nearby York, SC. Ms. Sandifer was born on the property and lived to be 96 years of age before her death in February 1994. In her will, drawn up by John Spratt, Ms. Sandifer requested that this property be known as the James Ross Wildlife Reservation. A parking area is available and a sign dedicating the tract is present. Activities and amenities Trails: There are two trails on the property. A portion of the 23-mile (37 km) Triple C Rail Trail, running east–west from York to Sharon, also crosses the property. Hunting: Hunting of white-tailed deer, wild turkey, small game and furbearers is allowed within the Game Zone 2 seasons and bag limits. Nature Viewing: Pine timber stands comprise about 150 acres and are primarily natural shortleaf, some Virginia pine and two small areas of loblolly pine. A significant number of desirable mast-producing hardwood species such as red oak, white oak, hickory, beech and dogwood occur on the tract and account for approximately 145 acres. Several small wildlife openings are present. References External links SCDNR Managed Lands: James Ross Wildlife Reservatiion Triple C Rail Trail information page
Moses Levy Building

The Moses Levy Building is a Greek Revival commercial structure located at 254 King St., Charleston, South Carolina. In April 1838, a fire swept through the neighborhood around 254 King St. and destroyed a house belonging to Moses Levy. In June 1839, the South Carolina General Assembly created a program which financed the rebuilding of the area, and Moses Levy secured a "fire loan" to construct a three-story masonry building at the site. Levy died in 1839, and the house remained in his estate for fifty years until it was bought by two of his granddaughters. On March 3, 1909, seventy years after it was built, the house was sold outside the Levy family to Marx Lazarus. Throughout the history of the building, it has housed commercial interests, starting with a jewelry. Around the turn of the twentieth century, rooms on the second floor were also used for meeting spaces by various organizations. The three-story building is typical of the Greek Revival style, commercial buildings erected after the fire of 1838. It has a simple parapet along the roofline and cast iron grills inset near of the top of the front façade. The exterior stucco was scored to resemble stonework. The south side of the building has earthquake bolts with decorative lions head covers; the earthquake bolts repaired damage from the Great Earthquake of 1886. References
Vanderhorst Row

Vanderhorst Row in Charleston, South Carolina is a three-unit residential building built in 1800 by Arnoldus Vanderhorst, a governor of South Carolina (1792-1794). Each unit is four floors. The units at the north and south end of the range have doors along East Bay Street on the front in addition to doors on the sides of the unified building and exits to the rear. After the Civil War, the use of the building changed, and commercial purposes were installed. The building fell into disrepair before it was bought in 1935 by Josiah E. Smith for a restoration which cost $30,000. The architect for the restoration of the building was Stephen Thomas. The three units rented for $1500 to $1800 a year after the work was completed. As restored, each unit had a living room, dining room, kitchen, breakfast room, and pantry on the first floor; a drawing room, bedroom, and bath on the second; two more bedrooms on the third; and servants' rooms in the attic. For many years after the restoration of the building, the central unit was rented by the Charleston Club for its headquarters; the club relocated to 53 East Bay Street in 1958.

James Spear House

The James Spear House is a historic home in Charleston, South Carolina along Charleston's Battery. The property upon which the house was built was acquired by James Spear in 1860 for $5,000; a plat connected with the sale does not reveal any improvements to the lot. However, by the time of a municipal census conducted in 1861, Spear was already occupying the house. The house is a three-story brick house in the Italianate style that was popular in Charleston just before the Civil War. The house has a two-story porch across the front (south facade) with a third story that is open to the elements. Behind the house, there is a two-story service building original to the house. The service building was connected to the house some time after 1882. It is still privately owned. References External links James Spear House at Library of Congress
John Cordes Prioleau House

Rebecca Screven House

The Rebecca Screven House in Charleston, South Carolina is Charleston single house built sometime before 1828 at 35 Legare Street. Rebecca Screven built the house on property she inherited from her mother, Mrs. Elizabeth Williams. In 1879, the house was bought by Louisa J. McCord. Louisa McCord was one of the most prominent women writers in antebellum South Carolina. In April 2014, the Historic Charleston Foundation bought the house through its revolving fund, a pool of money the foundation uses to acquire historic properties before reselling them to preservation-minded buyers subject to preservation easements. The foundation paid $1.75 million for the house, performed some work on the building, and listed it for resale in May 2014 through a competitive bid process. Both the interior and exterior of the house will be protected by easements, as will a garden designed by Loutrel Briggs. It remains private. References Bibliography Fought, Leigh (2003).
