Entry/Object ID

BROAD.097.001

Scope and Content

Constructed circa 1835. Sole survivor of three identical Greek Revival brick single-houses whose sisters were demolished about 1940 for construction of a Piggly Wiggly grocery store. This 2½ story house on a raised basement was built as rental property by the prominent antebellum merchant Mordecai Cohen. Three files contain original legal documentation of the easement on the property; annual inspection report; building history from Information for Guides of Historic Charleston; Cultural Resource Assessment for 97 Broad Street including architectural drawings; structural shoring notes and drawings; "A Brief History of 97 Broad Street" Meadors Construction; graduate student report "Historic Preservation and Sustainability in Charleston: A Case Study of meadors' 93 and 97 Broad Street Projects" (Jennifer Betwsorth, 2010) (see Multimedia link). Also available (pdf) are documents containing correspondence and other documentation from 1994-2006 relating to various issues involving 93-97 Broad Street, including legal correspondence. Files had been maintained by HCF Executive Directors Carter Hudgins and Kitty Robinson. The original files were not processed, except organized chronologically, and some items may be redundant. This is a new easement property so files will become more complete in time. The files may eventually contain additional items such as correspondence and other documentation related to the easement; Part I certification (National Register); annual inspection reports, requests for alterations, and correspondence related to the management of the property; easement inspection photos; correspondence and other documentation related to the sale of the property. See Easement Documentation Photo Files for easement donation photographs (Exh. B to Deed of Conservation Easement) and Covenant/Easement Inspection Photo Files for inspection photography.
