Stoll's Alley (General)Entry/Object ID
STOLLS.GEN.1Scope and Content
This quaint, brick-paved passage was originally known as “Pilots Alley,” a reference to the maritime nature of the waterfront in the 18th century. It was later named for Justinus Stoll, a blacksmith, who is thought to have built his home at 7 Stoll's Alley, ca. 1745. The street was dilapidated in the 1920s and has since been rehabilitated into one of the most charming spots in Charleston. There are several wrought-iron gates on this alley that were created by blacksmith Philip Simmons. (City of Charleston Tour Guide Training Manual)
