CHAPEL.035.1Scope and Content
The two-bay, two-story frame house at 35 Chapel Street built c. 1850 is a fine Charleston example of vernacular Greek Revival architecture. Modest in size and ornamentation, the rectangular frame structure has changed very little throughout the past century and a half, retaining much of its original structural elements, both inside and out. Original 6/6 wood double hung sash windows with simple surrounds and hoods divide the wood clapboard front façade, and a Greek Revival bracketed door surround and transom define the principal entrance at the piazza screen. A one-story piazza runs the length of the structure on the four-bay west elevation, outlining the original mid-nineteenth century structure. Two interior chimneys climb to the gable metal roof, which is outlined with a boxed cornice. In typical Charleston single house style, the structure’s original central staircase is flanked on each side by a simple parlor both containing original interior Greek Revival woodwork and mantelpieces. The house also contains original doors and flooring. The rear of the structure is defined by a twentieth century two-story addition that houses modern appliances and was constructed using a late nineteenth century footprint of a prior historic service wing that was added after the house was constructed.
