Overview

Description

Beautiful Georgian Townhouse built in 1809 by James Huston, the son-in-law of Alexander Calder who once owned this parcel and the Planters Inn where the Dock Street Theatre now resides. James Huston lived and worked as a merchant tailor in this property until his death in 1824. The 3 story masonry townhouse includes the original “tailor shop” with commercial door on Church Street and the original terra cotta tile fireplace while the upper floors and back portion make up the beautiful original residence. This property boasts one of the most beautiful drawing rooms in Charleston with ornate Neoclassical moldings and original gilded medallions on the first and second floors. Beautiful Adams architecture is seen throughout the home as exemplified in the symmetrical doorways and fireplaces.

Supplements: This category 2 home has been lovingly restored and renovated with all the modern conveniences and includes a beautiful carriage house sitting amidst a formal 2 room, lush garden. The lovely urban residence and garden have been featured in many publications such as SOUTHERN LIVING, CHARLESTON ENTERTAINS, AND CHARLESTON GARDENS. An attached garage
