GADSDEN.014.1Scope and Content
Built ca. 1850 as an investment property, 14 Gadsden Street is a 2½ story frame townhouse on a low brick foundation, set with its closed gable end fronting Gadsden Street. The north elevation along Wentworth Street is extended by a 2-story rear gable wing that is narrower than the main block. Two stuccoed brick chimneys rise from the north slope of the slate roof, nearly at the ridgeline, and there is a brick exterior chimney at the rear of the wing. The main block features 2 gabled dormers with 6/6 sash at each side elevation. A 2-tier piazza, with columns and slender turned balusters, extends along the south elevation and wraps around to the rear entry into the wing. The piazza and garden are essentially closed to the street. A driveway from Wentworth Street accesses a garage that was first built in the late 1930s when the east half of the lot was subdivided and sold. The garage was completely rebuilt after Hurricane Hugo.
Three files contain documentation of the easement on the property including related correspondence and Confirmation of Understanding; Part I certification (National Register); annual inspection reports; historic research notes (Sarah Fick); 1886 Earthquake Damage Assessment.
The files may eventually contain requests for alterations, easement inspection photographs, and correspondence related to the management of the property and perhaps additional historical information. See Easement Manager's working files for more information.
See Easement Documentation Photo Files for easement donation photographs (Exh. B to Deed of Conservation Easement) and Covenant/Easement Inspection Photo Files for inspection photography.Collection
