Further researchScope and Content
The buildings at 226-228 Meeting Street were demolished except for their cast iron fronts, considered to be one of the most notable examples of Victorian cast iron work in facade ornamentation. The I. Ginsberg firm occupied the buildings since the early 1930s, prior to which it was occupied by T.R. McGahan and Co., wholesale dry goods merchants, and by Brown-Evans Co., boots and shoes.
No additional building history on file. Needs further research.
File contains newspaper article (1968) about the demolition of the buildings; captioned photos from Preservation Society's "Preservation Progress" (1968); description of T.R. McGahan & Co. (with photo of building) from "Resources & Attractions of Charleston" (ca. 1898).
