Scope and Content

Constructed ca. 1799-1801; altered 1850s. Thomas Osborne, from a prominent plantation family south of Charleston, built this 2½ story double house with beaded weatherboarded siding and hipped roof in the late years of the 18th century. A mid-19th century owner apparently added the second floor cast-iron balcony, and a Carpenter Gothic entry was added a short time thereafter. Jane Shackleford McCrady bought the property in 1887,and her descendants have occupied it ever since. File contains newspaper article (1930 DYKYC); newspaper advertisement for the sale of the property (1857).
