Entry/Object ID

KING.077.1

Scope and Content

Constructed 1748. This property contains two buildings dating from the same period, including a two-story brick single house with two bays on the King Street facade. These buildings were built by the merchant Francis Baker, a Colonial office holder, who also constructed the adjoining house at 79 King Street. Baker may have lived in one building and used the other for a shop. (Poston, Buildings of Charleston.) 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, requests for alterations, and correspondence related to the management of the property; FOHG house and dependency histories (undated, 1996, 1997); historical/chain-of-title research 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.
