Scope and Content

Constructed prior to 1865, a four-story building faced in brownstone with a mansard roof that was probably added at the turn of the century. Over the years, the building housed businesses including Lucas & Richardson Co. Printers, Merchants Fertilizer & Phosphate Co., and the S.C. State Employment Service, and served as apartments to provide living space for war workers in the city. Demolition began in 1970, despite the protests of preservationists, but wasn't completed until 1972 due to structural issues with a neighboring building and the resulting legal proceedings. (HCF property file.) File contains graduate student report (John Bennett, 2018) on the history of the building, which includes historical and chain-of-title research, maps, photos, and other supporting documentation; newspaper articles related to its demolition; Preservation Progress articles (Nov. and Dec. 1972) about the common walls and separation 130 East Bay and 12 Gillon streets; occupancy history from Old Codgers' Charleston Address Book. Image in this record is from document in the Property File.
