Name/Title
8 George Street (Sarah Daniell Lawrence House)Entry/Object ID
GEORGE.008.1Scope and Content
Constructed ca. 1787-91; altered ca. 1895; alterations removed 1973. Sarah Daniell Lawrence received this house and land by purchase from the estate of her father, Robert Daniell, in 1791. He specified that a house be built on this lot for benefit of his wife or daughters when he made his will in 1787. The building was apparently complete before his death. The house, with a central hall and one room on either side, directly faces the street. Its period can be deduced from the wide, beaded weatherboard siding and the unusual Palladian (Venetian) windows on each gable end of the attic story. (Poston, Buildings of Charleston.)
