Description

Entitled "Doorway of a Charleston Home," 351 Meeting Street, known as the Withers House. The Charleston Bagging Company (which bought the block and later demolished the house) used it as the house of their superintendent. The house was demolished in 1926. In a 1919 advertisement, Susan Pringle Frost sought someone to buy the interiors to reuse somewhere else. Photo #2 included as reference, shows the Bagging Company warehouse and 351 Meeting Street after the 1886 Earthquake. (From The Charleston Earthquake, 1886, by Alexander M. Cochran.)
