23 Meeting Street (Albert Detmar House)

Entry/Object ID

MEETING.023.1

Scope and Content

The three houses at 23-27 Meeting Street were constructed 1760-1800; altered 19th century. These three single houses comprise an important streetscape of 18th century masonry structures. All three have had Victorian alterations, but 23 Meeting Street, originally built by provision merchant Albert Detmar, has retained its late-19th century alterations. The two southernmost of the three, 23 Meeting Street and 25 Meeting Street, date from 1770 and 1760 respectively, while 27 Meeting was erected after the Revolution. (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 histories (undated, 1995, 2001, 2004/garden); house history from Information for Guides of Historic Charleston (1984); entry from 62 Famous Houses. 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.
