Entry/Object ID

RUTLEDGE.067.1

Scope and Content

Constructed ca. 1852. James Taylor's later residence, this brick-stucco, 2-story, side-hall plan dwelling exhibits Italianate and Gothic features, including double bracketed eaves supporting a pyramidal, hipped roof and central cupola, as well as a Carpenter Gothic front piazza with trefoil shaped columns flanking three latticework Moorish arches. The same arch appears in the masonry drive gate on the south. The house is notable not only because it retained, until recently, many of its original lighting fixtures, fireplace equipment, and bell system but because its full complement of yard buildings also survives. Constructed about 1852, the house contains one of the earliest examples of interior plumbing in Charleston. An original copper bathtub survives, as do a rooftop rainwater cachement and a basement cistern. File contains house history from Tour Guide Training Manual (2011); newspaper articles (1956, 1995); historical/chain-of-title research notes (1852-1967); floor plans (drawn by owner, Charles Hand); photocopy of plat (1986); photocopy of tax map (1992?); real estate leaflet (undated); photocopy of historic photograph (undated) and sketch of house and outbuildings.
