4 Logan Street (Frost House)Entry/Object ID
LOGAN.004.1Scope and Content
Constructed ca. 1852. When the fire of 1861 swept the neighborhood, the Frost House survived the conflagration and thus remains the only antebellum dwelling on Logan Street between Tradd and Broad Streets. Edward Frost of 128 Tradd Street built this house for his son, Thomas. A marble staircase with cast-iron balustrade rises to the main entry, sheltered by a pedimented architrave. Brownstone lintels and sills ornament the window fenestration of the principle two floors. Susan Pringle Frost, Charleston suffragist, realtor, and founder of the Preservation Society, lived here in the early years of the 20th century. Miss Frost hosted a meeting of the National Women's Party at 4 Logan Street in 1915. (Poston, Buildings of Charleston.)
