RUTLEDGE.112.1Scope and Content
Constructed ca. 1830; altered 1940s. This finely detailed 2½ story building follows many of the design elements found on other large-scale Harleston Village buildings, particularly those built by the Bennett family. The house retains its closed gable roof and modillioned cornice. A pedimented second-story pavilion projects above the principal tier of the side piazza. When completed, this house stood on the southern edge of the Bennett Mill Pond and faced a spacious lot of its own to the east, as well as that of the Huchet house on the corner. Owned by the Hughes family at the time of the Civil War, the house was retrimmed with Queen Anne detailing in the late-19th century. It passed out of the family by 1904, when it became the residence of H.A. Molony, a grain and fertilizer dealer. The dwelling was converted to apartments in the 1940s and to condominiums in the 1980s as part of an adjacent residential development.
