More comments from Kevin Eberle: Notice the odd brick post on the southeast corner of President and Huger Street. I am not sure what to make of that. There is a passing reference to Hampton Park Terrace in Harriette Kershaw Leiding’s book Historic Houses of South Carolina, which you can read at http://books.google.com/books?id=VLpLAAAAMAAJ&pg=PA189&img=1&zoom=3&hl=en&sig=ACfU3U3ql-KkVPX2GLkzT4YKPE0sxIM88Q&ci=120%2C606%2C739%2C339&edge=0
I wonder whether the pillar in the photo is one of the pillars she refers to in that passage. That would be an odd place for such pillars because the intersection of President and Huger is exactly in the center of the neighborhood and not at an entrance. I’ve never found any photos that show the other corners of that intersection, so I’m not sure.Created By
