45 Queen Street (Daniel Cannon House Outbuilding)Entry/Object ID
QUEEN.045.1Scope and Content
Construaed ca. 1750; renovated ca. 1955. This substantial brick outbuilding formerly served a wooden double tenement constructed in the mid-eighteenth century by Daniel Cannon, a wealthy pre-Revolutionary lumber mill owner and building contractor. The Cannon tenement was demolished (with some of its structure moved to the Crescent neighborhood) in the 1940s, but the brick kitchen/slave quarters remained and was renovated as a modern house. The building's primary interest arises from the gable-on-hip roof, an element rarely seen in surviving colonial Charleston buildings. A cypress paneled room from the interior of
the Cannon House was preserved by The Charleston Museum.
File contains building history from Information for Guides of Historic Charleston; newspaper article with photograph (date missing); captioned newspaper photograph of the kitchen building to be restored (1953); photocopy of a photograph (undated, unattributed).
