Title Guarantee Building (302 King Street)Entry/Object ID
KING.GEN.025a-bDescription
Two B&W photographs of the Title Guarantee Building (302 King Street), west (front) elevation, showing semicircular window in the upper story. Same view, slightly different orientations.
Constructed 1915-16. The architect John D. Newcomer designed this edifice for a building and loan company and its construction was completed by 1916 at a cost of $13,000. Built of brick with a veneer of limestone, the upper floor with a semicircular window topped by a console bracket and a surmounting cornice supporting a roof balustrade derives from the Beaux Arts style. The Title Guarantee Building contrasts with the late-Italianate style storefront added to a 1790s building at 300 King Street. The Onslow Candy Company added the surviving pressed-metal window hoods and the bracketed cornice. The arch with bracketed keystone at the Title Guarantee Building, however, harmonizes with the surviving arched entry at 304 King Street. (Poston, Buildings of Charleston.)Collection
