GIBBES.002.1Scope and Content
Constructed ca. 1850; altered 1885. This 2½ story, side-hall plan house retains the customary closed front gable and the double-tiered piazzas with Tuscan columns usually associated with Charleston's Greek Revival period. A subsequent owner, William P. Holmes, added Victorian detailing in 1885. Most of these changes have been removed, although the Neoclassical revival door surround has been added.
