MURRAY.014.1Scope and Content
Constructed in the 20th century. This property was once a part of a large parcel and garden belonging to 51 South Battery, owned by Mr. and Mrs. James Wilkinson. When it was a one-room structure, it was used by Mrs. Wilkinson as a school for young children and a playground. the one-room structure was expanded to two rooms and a kindergarten added. The house was remodeled and expanded several times over the years and while not "historic" per se, it is a part of the history of Charleston and a good example of the creative adaptation common here. (FOH House History, 2013.)
