SAVAGE.020.1Description
B&W photograph of 20 Savage Street (The Margaret Aldert House), street (front) elevation. Two copies of photograph in sleeve.
Constructed c. 1873. The Aldert House, with its front closed gable end framing a tripartite window, its double tiered Tuscan piazza, and its Greek Revival door architrave, closely resembles the typical Charleston single houses of the Antebellum period. The front picket fence standing on a diminutive brick coping constitutes a rare survival of the wooden fences seen throughout this and other neighborhoods in 19th century Charleston. The centered addition on the second story of the piazza, sheltering an upstairs bathroom, exhibits one of the most common methods for adding modern conveniences to Charleston single houses in the early 20th century.
