C. Henry Hesse Houses (22 and 24 Gadsden Street)Entry/Object ID
GADSDEN.022-24.1a-bDescription
Two B&W photographs of the C. Henry Hesse Houses (22 and 24 Gadsden Street), west (front) elevation, taken at different orientations.
Constructed 1885-86. C.H. Hesse purchased these lots from J.H. Renneker Jr. prior to 1883. Within three years he constructed two two-story Charleston single houses at 22 and 24 Gadsden Street with nearly identical weatherboarding, corner posts, fenestration, and open front gables. A double-tiered square-columned piazza shades the south side of 22 Gadsden, while the matching piazza at 24 Gadsden now has Tuscan columns. The ground level of 24 Gadsden has been altered with a brick floor and brick tiers supporting the column bases. Renneker retained the original portion of the lot at 26 Gadsden
Street only briefly, selling it by 1883 with buildings already on it. (Poston, Buildings of Charleston.)Collection
