2012.002.081Description
Inventory of buildings in Charleston, based on the criteria set forth in the 1974 historic preservation plan by Wright, Feiss, et al. Provides street address, historical name, assigned category in 1974 and 1986, TMS number, easement status, and date of construction.
Category 1: Exceptional. Buildings of the highest architectural design quality, well proportioned, with a sophisticated use of architectural features such as doors, windows, classical orders (or other period designs), chimneys, verandas, massing, materials, textures, refined detail, and craftsmanship. They are elegant and innovative, and must be preserved and protected in situ at all costs.
Category 2: Excellent. High style regional architecture -- fine "Charleston Style" -- well designed and proportioned, with good detail. These are spirited, dignified, frequently innovative, rare, and always attractive and interesting. Of irreplaceable importance, to be preserved in situ at all costs.
Category 3: Significant. Good architectural quality of the vernacular mode. Less sophisticated and refined than "excellent." Appealing, curious, and interesting. To be retained and protected.
Category 4: Contributory. Buildings of architectural value without which the character of those buildings rated in groups 1-3 would be lessened. To be preserved and retained.
