101 Tradd Street (Jane Thomson House)Entry/Object ID
TRADD.101.1Scope and Content
Constructed ca. 1778; altered and renovated mid- and late-20th century. Standing on a Grand Modell lot granted in 1689 to Direck Hugland, a New York mariner, this 3-story Charleston single house was built for Jane Thomson in the late 1770s. According to newspaper advertisements, Thomson's millinery business was sufficiently thriving by the early 1770s to compel her to advertise in the South Carolina Gazette for young women to join her shop as apprentices. In the 20th century the new owners raised the roofline of the house to create a full third story, and in more recent years, a double-tiered side piazza was removed.
