Notes: In manuscript form by Albert Simons and W.H. Johnson. Compiled by Historic Charleston Foundation. Presented to the members of the Society of Architectural Historians.
Index in street address order has been prepared by Karen Emmons.
Origin, from a random sampling of correspondence from the Frances Edmunds Papers. The Society of Architectural Historians was going to have a big meeting in Charleston and reached out to Mrs. Edmunds. One of the conference activities included a guided tour of Charleston and from that came the idea of writing an architectural guide that SAH members could purchase. It seems that this was Mrs. Edmunds's idea and she reached out to a few architectural historians (Clemson, UVA) to write it but they thought it would be in better to be in the hands of a local authority. So Mrs. Edmunds contacted Albert Simons who agreed to do it but he needed help and that's where W.H. Johnson Thomas came in. Mrs. Edmunds wanted to have it published but that couldn't have been done in time for the conference but the "fine-looking manuscript" was created. Apparently, the entries were submitted in batches, hence "compiled by HCF." This all occurred in 1971 and that's the date of publication that we attribute to it.
