COMING.034.2Description
B&W photograph of 34 Coming Street and 36 Coming Street (R to L), two of the College of Charleston Sorority Houses.
34 Coming Street may date from the Revolutionary period but its Queen Anne style closed gable and remodeled piazza entry belie its early date. Constructed by the vintner Thomas Harvey, the property originally contained a separate brick distillery building. The only masonry example of the group of sorority houses at 28-38 Coming, is the Graves House at 36 Coming Street. It was built in the 1840s by a wealthy planter who again leased the site from the glebe. Standing 3½ stories on a raised basement, the house retains its Greek Revival piazza door screen and an unusually wide dormer with a tripartite window projecting from its hipped roof.
