92 Spring Street (alternatively known as 92½ Spring Street) is a historic property situated in Cannonborough/Elliottborough. A single house style residential building at the back of the lot was lost in the late 20h century, but still extant are two single-story commercial buildings oriented on the front of the lot along Spring Street. The simple buildings belie important historical associations: they were built by Huldah J. Prioleau, one of the first female African American physicians in South Carolina, and one of the buildings served as her office from 1908 until her retirement in around 1934. It was also the setting for civil rights-inspired conversations between Prioleau and famous Charleston Renaissance author John Bennett during the tense race relations of the WWI era. The two commercial buildings continued in use as shops and briefly as a church for the African American community living near Spring Street. (House History, Butler, 2017.)
