COMING.070-72.1Description
B&W photograph of the Henry Horlbeck Houses (70-72 Coming Street), front elevation of both buildings showing the southwest corner of each and their piazzas.
Constructed before 1852; renovated 1971-72. Henry Horlbeck, scion of the brickmaking family that owned Boone Hall Plantation, built these two stuccoed brick dwellings as investments on lots that had been subdivided from the college lands in 1817. Horlbeck sold the larger three-story single house with parapeted and corbeled gable roof to J.C. Johnson while retaining the smaller house to the north as a rental property. The latter is a 2½ story single house with a similar parapeted gable. It was conveyed by Horlbeck's estate by 1894 to the businessman and real estate baron Samuel Wilson. The College of Charleston rehabilitated both structures for use as student residences in the early 1970s. (Poston, Buildings of Charleston.)Collection
