Description

B&W photographs of buildings and other properties located in Charleston County that were destroyed, relocated, or otherwise modified because they were in the right-of-way of where roads were being constructed or widened. Building and dwelling types include houses, apartment buildings, freedman's cottages, mobile homes, commercial and industrial buildings, churches, schools, gas stations, restaurants, grocery stores and corner markets, garages, sheds, outhouses, and other outbuildings. Roads: * I-26, Route 171 (Folly Road/St. Andrews Boulevard), Route 17 (Savannah Highway), State Road 31 (Reynolds Avenue), and State Road 13 (Remount Road). Stamped on back of photos is docket number, route number, county, property owner, tract number, station, and date; information filled in by hand. See Notes for explanation of surveyor measurements regarding "station." Photographs are grouped by docket number and within those groupings, photos of neighboring properties are (mostly) consecutive.

Also on External Hard Drive My Passport1: folder name "SCDOTPhotos." The following is a brief guide to understanding the station description: +: Plus sign ±: Plus or minus Rt: Right side of the road Lt: Left side of the road CL: Center line of the road R/W: Right-of-way N.B.: Northbound S.B.: Southbound ?: Triangular area of land or a median The stationing of roads is done in survey feet, not inches. Surveyors use feet, tenths, and hundredths of a foot. For example, the beginning of a road would be 0+00 (zero feet) and for every 100 feet, the number increases to 1+00, 2+00, etc. Therefore, if a station is 42+00 Rt, it is 4,200 ft. from the beginning of the road on the right side. (Note that right and left are related to the stations as they increase.) The beginning stations are usually at the start of a subdivision or at the "T-intersection" of roads. (Explanations provided by Roy T. Adams, Surveyor, SC Dept. of Transportation.) Kevin Eberle mapped several Crosstown and I-26 photos using the 1951 Sanborn Maps. See Media link. Box 16 contains Docket Nos. 439, 494, 518, 524, 541, 551, 562, 597, 600 (all non-I-26) Box 17 contains Docket Nos. 471, 480, 486, 490 (all I-26) Box 18 contains Docket Nos. 503, 510, 517 (all I-26) Originally documented to include photographs of State Road 894 (Azalea Drive) but none found in metadata for LDCL.
