43 Tradd Street (Jonathan Badger Tenement)Entry/Object ID
TRADD.043.1Scope and Content
Constructed ca. 1746-72. Long thought to have been built by the cabinetmaker Jonathan Badger after his acquisition of the lot in 1746, this substantial brick double tenement may constitute one of the best-preserved exposed-brick buildings in the city from the first quarter of the 18th century. Flemish bond brickwork with brick jack arches and a pantile roof accentuate this building's early character, but interior detailing indicated 1770s rebuilding or alterations. Following the early Charleston single house plan, a door (Greek Revival) stands within the center street opening at 41 Tradd Street. The entire property was sold to the tailor Alexander Cormack in 1700. Recently a brick incised with the date "1772" has been discovered on the exterior.
