KING.253.1Scope and Content
Constructed ca. 1890; renovated 1918. Originally built as a men's clothing store, this structure was renovated for use by the Citizens Bank. Exhibiting a form of Beaux Arts classicism, an engaged, pedimented portico with Ionic columns frames an arched doorway with a central console bracket. Although the building is now a jewelry store, its original bank interior, used from 1918 to 1958, still survives. (Poston, Buildings of Charleston.)
