LAMBOLL.025.1

Scope and Content

Constructed ca. 1912; partially restored 1992. Todd and Benson, architects. A splendid example of the Colonial Revival style in Charleston, this dwelling incorporates many of the elements of American colonial architecture in its 20th century design. Ionic-order detailing in the engaged portico on the front facade along with the Neoclassical fanlighted door and the surmounting lunette in the pediment reflect the mix of earlier styles characteristic of the best of this house style. Thomas R. Waring, editor of the Evening Post, built this house on a lot inherited by his wife Laura Witte Waring, the daughter of the real estate baron, German consul, and banker Charles O. Witte. An earlier house, probably dating to 1815, was pulled down, and the surviving specifications note that framing materials should be saved and reused. Three files contain documentation of the easement on the property including related correspondence and Confirmation of Understanding; Part I certification (National Register); easement appraisal; annual inspection reports, requests for alterations, and correspondence related to the management of the property; FOHG house histories (1992, 1997); architectural specifications by Todd & Benson; copies of plat and Sanborn maps; copies of deeds related to the property (partially illegible); biographical information on Albert Whitner Todd (architect) (source not indicated). 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.
